My name is Salwa Achahboun; I am a research assistant and doctoral candidate at the Institute of Education in the Department of School Pedagogy. In my doctoral research, I examine the classroom as a space for social experience and order. My research focuses on how everyday classroom interactions give rise to feelings of belonging, distinctions, and relationships of recognition. I am particularly interested in how differences based on ethnicity, gender, and social background are made practically relevant. In doing so, I focus especially on the pupil’s perspectives.
Before beginning my doctoral studies, I studied to become a high school teacher in Tübingen, studying German, Political Science, Biology (Bachelor’s), and Educational Science. The connection to school practice remains particularly important to me to this day and shapes both my academic interests and my commitment at the intersection of academia and schools. As part of the doctoral student representative team, I would especially like to promote interdisciplinary exchange among doctoral candidates.
It is important to me to create spaces for networking, mutual support, and in-depth exchange. This includes both digital and in-person formats, such as joint discussion groups on PhD-related topics with guest speakers or low-threshold formats where experiences and helpful tips can be shared. Furthermore, I would like to give visibility to the perspectives and wishes of (TüSE) doctoral candidates.
I look forward to engaging in conversation with other doctoral candidates, bringing shared concerns to light, and helping to shape spaces where exchange, support, and networking become the norm.
