DRS Podcast “Navigating your Doctorate”<\/p>\n

In our latest episode, Dr. Steffen Jaksztat<\/a>, Sociologist at the German Center for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), investigates how social background shapes the path to a doctorate – from the decision to pursue a dissertation to careers afterward. In the DRS podcast interview, he explains the importance of financial security, family expectations, and role models, the opportunities offered by formalized selection processes, and why mentors play a key role in the success of first-generation doctoral candidates. Listen to the episode here: https:\/\/blogs.fu-berlin.de\/drs_podcast\/2025\/09\/09\/does-your-familial-background-influence-your-decision-for-against-a-doctorate\/<\/a> or on Spotify.<\/p>\n

The Dahlem Research School podcast “Navigation your Doctorate” (https:\/\/blogs.fu-berlin.de\/drs_podcast\/<\/a>) supports prospective and current doctoral researchers during their early career phase.
