Bulletin 1/20 «Ungleichheit – Inégalité» (German and French)
Uns geht es besser denn je! Folgt man Wissenschaftlern wie Steven Pinker ist dies pure Empirie. Dem strauchelnden Individuum mag dies zynisch vorkommen, der Einzelfall dem Statistiker stereotyp erscheinen. Wie immer ist es ist eine Frage der Perspektive.
Das Dossier erhellt die multidimensionale Herausforderung «Ungleichheit» durch Expertise aus den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften und denkt konzeptionell verwandte Begriffe wie Gerechtigkeit, Differenz und Diversität mit.

Compassionate Science - Integrating Empathy and Compassion in Research
This report explores how empathy and compassion shape research practices across disciplines. Drawing on a review of existing literature and illustrative examples from early-career researchers, it shows that empathy and compassion are not abstract ideals but practical dimensions of research that can influence study design, relationships, data interpretation, and knowledge translation. Across fields, integrating these dimensions can strengthen trust, deepen understanding, improve collaboration, and enhance ethical reflexivity.

At the same time, the findings are more nuanced than expected and point to clear areas for improvement.
