Dobbelte bindinger: En antropologisk analyse af rammerne for erhvervs-ph.d.-forskning

Based on the author’s own experiences as an Industrial PhD funded by the Dan-ish Innovation Fund, the article centres on the expectations the PhD student is met with from several stakeholders in the research. The difficulties PhD students experience when being part of several workplaces have been known for years. Taking a point of departure in the known challenges, the article broadens our understanding of the zero-sum-game the Industrial PhD is part of, where the dual role can lead to the PhD student not being able to deliver high quality work in any of the two workplaces. The article does not bring answers, but argues that we, as a scientific community, need to have a debate on the changed funding landscape, and how the Industrial funding impacts the rules of the game on how research in the humanities and social sciences are undertaken.
