The Inner World of Research

A book about the misery and joy of life as a researcher, and on the role of emotions and social relations in research based on the author's reflections from a life as a researcher and on interviews with leading scientists about their work and careers.

The Inner World of Research is a book about the joys and miseries of life as a researcher. Dealing with essential but rarely mentioned topics in the everyday life of a researcher, it focuses, in particular, on the role of emotions and social relations in research. It stretches from the individual researcher, to the micro-cosmos of the research team and to the broader policy environment in which research takes place. Though based on autobiographical material from Stefan Svallfors long career as a leading social scientist, the book also derives from extended interviews with researchers from a variety of disciplines, and with authors, artists and musicians. It delves into the mysteries of creativity; the joys and frustrations of collaboration; and the role of fear, anger and boredom in the life of a researcher.
