Biography

edit

Before his academic training, Jan Wiedemann worked for Lübeck's Drägerwerk, for IG Metall, and for the Hamburg educational institution Arbeit und Leben. From 1993 to 1996, he studied sociology, economics, business administration, and law at the University of Hamburg.[1] As a scientist and business consultant, he collaborated with Joachim Lohse at Ökopol – Institute for Ecology and Policy GmbH, with whom he published joint reports and expert opinions.[2][3] This was followed by parental leave and other professional stations. During his master's degree at the University of Hamburg and his subsequent doctorate between 2007 and 2010 at the Leuphana University Lüneburg, Wiedemann also worked as a project manager and as a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Kiel as well as a lecturer at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. During this time, he researched and published together with Uta Klein in the field of critical men's studies.[4][5] Immediately after completing his doctorate, Wiedemann was appointed to the professorship for theories and methods of social work.[1] His academic engagement includes, among others, his role as a trustee of the Hans-Böckler-Foundation and membership in the jury of the Ars Legendi Prize for Excellent University Teaching of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and the German Rectors' Conference in 2012. From the professorship, Wiedemann moved to the Stiftung Drachensee.[1] There, he initially served as a member of the management for the area of personnel and organizational development. Since January 2019, he has been a board member of the Stiftung Drachensee.[6] From a model project of the Stiftung Drachensee, he founded the Institute for Inclusive Education,[7] through which people with so-called intellectual disabilities who have been working in a workshop for disabled people (WfbM) are employed as qualified educational specialists at universities and universities of applied sciences on a full-time basis. There, they teach students, as well as teaching, professional, and management staff, about the realities, needs, and competencies of people with disabilities firsthand. Since May 2016, Wiedemann has been a Fellow of the global Ashoka Foundation.[8]
