Wie fühlt es sich an, als Erstakademiker:innen das “soziale Feld” Universität zu betreten? Was muss sich ändern, damit FirstGen-Studierende gut an der Universität ankommen und bleiben?
Die Podiumsdiskussion an der #UniWuppertal gibt es im #Podcast nachzuhören
@jayalane Best advice: start with the family you send financial assistance to lol. They’ll follow you anywhere you go. #ImmigrantLife #firstgen
"Gerade das Zusammenspiel aus eingenommener Machtposition (Professur), biografischer Bewältigung des Aufstiegs und eigener Reproduktion der verinnerlichten Ordnung des wissenschaftlichen Feldes müsste noch viel stärker reflektiert werden, um die zugrundeliegenden eigenen Vorstellungen von Leistung(spotential) und Güte wissenschaftlicher Arbeit aufzudecken."

As part of a #science #communication course I am currently taking, we have to watch three #TED talks of our choice.
It's less about the content, but more about the way the speakers communicated.
I came across this wonderful TED talk by Andrea Hernandez about 'the invisible difference of a first generation college student'.
If you can spare 13 minutes of your day, I invite you to watch the talk on YouTube. It made me cry.
@bmbf_bund Hallo BMBF. Easy. Wir reden über #ichbinhanna, #WissZeitVG, #Anschlusszusage, #Höchstbefristungsgrenze, #AufDauerBefristet, #DauerstellenFür#Daueraufgaben. Fehlende Ausstattung an Unis, verzögerte Upgrades von notwendigen Großforschungsanlagen, #ScienceAsAService. #Wissenschaftsfreiheit, #Fördergeldaffäre, fehlende #Chancengleicheit, #firstgen, #AcademicCrisisList. #Zeiterfassung In der Wissenschaft,#Drittmittel #Funding Das wäre doch gut für den Anfang. Freu mich!
Let's see if this place can do its #magic!
I am looking for fellow #firstgen #PhD students (independent of the field) to make a little #outreach series -- estimated release will be end of September/start of October.
Comment below what you do if you want to be involved. If you don't want to comment, shoot me a message
“I wish that I could say that it was all downhill from there, but it was not. My last 3 semesters have been the most challenging of my math journey. That’s when I took Calculus 3 and Differential Equations. At the same time, I changed jobs and experienced significant changes in my personal life. For a time, I considered quitting, but I never let my struggles win. After 5 years, I am about to graduate from Century College and continue my mathematical journey at a four-year university. I know I will struggle in the future, but my experience so far has shown that I am tenacious and can tackle any challenges that come my way.” - Jenna Race

I’m a First-Generation Adult Child of Immigrants
My love for America compels me to fight against Hate and intolerance in all its forms.
On First-Generation College Celebration Day, let’s remember that #FirstGen students have so much to give our country. Filled with pride thinking of the talent and drive of my fellow first generation grads.
Let’s keep removing barriers and work to make college more affordable.
