Life

Ulrike T. Kissmann received his Abitur and Baccalauréat in 1986 and began a class preparation at the Lycée La Bruyère in Versailles for admission to the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Sèvres-Ulm for the subjects of philosophy and classical philology. From 1987 to 1993 she completed a double degree in physics and philosophy at the Technical University of Berlin . Kissmann completed his diploma in physics with Hans-Eckhart Gumlich , the title of the diploma thesis was measurements using disturbed gamma angle distribution (PAD) and laser spectroscopy on chalcogenides containing Mn . For her diploma in physics, she was awarded the Erwin Stephan Prize by the Technical University of Berlin. She obtained her Magistra Artium degree in philosophy from Hans Poser (philosopher) with a thesis on Pierre Duhem's 'Théorie physique' in its importance for the theory of science . From 1993 to 1994 she completed a postgraduate course in science and technology studies at the University of Edinburgh , which she successfully completed with a Master of Science degree. Kissmann wrote his thesis with Wendy Faulkner and Martin Kusch on The Social Production of Soft Condensed Matter Physics .

From January 1995 to December 1999, Kissmann was a research assistant in the sociology of technology department at the Institute for Social Sciences at the Technical University of Berlin. She successfully completed her doctorate in March 2001 at the Department of Social Affairs at the University of Kassel under Wolfram Fischer-Rosenthal (second reviewer was Andreas Knie (sociologist) ). The dissertation with the title Nuclear Energy and German Biographies. The presence of National Socialism in biographical reconstructions by nuclear technology experts was published by Psychosozial-Verlag . Kissmann then worked from 2002 to 2004 as a research assistant to the dean of Faculty III for process sciences at the Technical University of Berlin.

From 2004 to 2006 she was a scholarship holder of the Berlin program to promote equal opportunities for women in research and teaching with a research project on the subject of classifications in human-machine interaction: anthropomorphization and genderization of information systems in hospitals . This study resulted in the application for the independently funded DFG project on the change in work through computerized knowledge in the operating theater from the gender perspective, which Kissmann headed from 2006 to 2011. In 2013 she completed her habilitation at the Philosophical Faculty III of the Humboldt University in Berlin and was awarded the Venia Legendi in sociology. Klaus Eder and Hubert Knoblauch were the reviewers of their habilitation thesis on the subject of the sociality of the visual. Foundation of hermeneutic video analysis and material investigations . The text was published by Velbrück Wissenschaft in 2014 . From the 2012/13 winter semester up to and including the 2014/15 winter semester, Kissmann was a substitute professor for process-oriented sociology at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt . In March 2015, she accepted the W3 professorship for social science methodology of qualitative-reconstructive research at the University of Kassel.

In research, Kissmann locates himself in the interpretative paradigm of Alfred Schütz and its further development. With reference to Maurice Merleau-Ponty , she made other forms of intentionality, such as that of bodily habituality, fertile for phenomenology and thus went beyond the classic model of interaction between two human actors and the restriction to their consciousness. On this basis, Kissmann has developed a video interaction analysis that takes into account the special content of visual and physical expressions of behavior in natural situations. With her work she brings the body phenomenological approach of Merleau-Ponty into the sociological hermeneutics and extends the classical model of action.
