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.

‘The Inner World of Research offers illuminating insights into the joys and sorrows of contemporary academic life. Unlike other books on “the decline of the university”, it is not only critical and pessimistic but also self-critical and constructive. A must-read for both scholars and research policy makers.’—Christer Nordlund, Professor of History of Science and Ideas, Umeå University, Sweden
