Marlène Iseli

Marlene Iseli has been working for the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAHS) since 2010. Issues tied to the visibility and valorisation of research in the field of SSH has been a major topic in her daily working-life for several years. Having dedicated her Phd (in 2011 in General Linguistics at the University of Berne) to questions about knowledge transfer and the applicability of academic (linguistic) skills and contents on the job market, her work at the Academy keeps focussing on questions as to the science policy, governing science, the scientific culture of the humanities and their contribution to society. One of her last projects tried to underline the need and pragmatic value of the humanities and their graduates (abouthumanities.sagw.ch).
