Historians in conversation - Dr Tsila Rädecker

 How do historians build their career, what motivates them and how they deal with professional and personal challenges? What shapes their professional path? Dr Michael Green from the Faculty of Philosophy and History welcomes you to his podcast, where he will be inviting interesting guests to explore their stories. 

 Dr. Tsila Rädecker, Independent scholar. Specialist in Jewish history of the enlightenment period, she published extensively on the topic, yet, continues her work independently. In the episode today, the conversation revolves around the alternative academic path – conducting research while having a non-academic job, and the reasons for which she moved in this direction. We discuss the possible ways to combine research and a regular job next to having a family.
