(Geo)politiky mobility
Červinková, Alice
This study concerns academic mobility along the gendered, disciplinary and geopolitical axes. Mobility is seen as an effect of heterogeneous networks of material objects and institutions. The gender dimension of an academic career is enacted in particular in relation to negotiations about postdoctoral fellowships – if, who and where will apply for a fellowship in an academic couple. Some scientific disciplines operate in densely-linked international networks. In highly globalized disciplines mobility constitutes a stage in an academic career that has a major bearing on its further course. Requirements placed on mobility in these scientific areas navigate and co-construct shapes of the academic career path and partnership configurations.

Rise and Fall of the Institute of Microbiology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. 1960s and 1970s
Štrbáňová, Soňa
Institute of Microbiology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences achieved important scientific advances in the 1960s, in spite of the political and ideological pressures of its time. In the period of the "Prague Spring" in 1968, became most of its workers, led by the Instiute Director Ivan Málek, engaged in the so called "revival process". After the short interlude of protests against Soviet occupation and subsequent apathy, the Communist Party installed in the Institute a new management whose drastic political measures supported by a small part of employees targeted several foremost scientists (especially I. Málek) and for years constrained the Institute's scientific activities.
