Harald Ludwig Albert (Alard) Mieg (August 8, 1961 in Munich) is a German social scientist and editor of scientific compendia.

Life

Harald A. Mieg grew up in Deisenhofen near Munich. He comes from the widely documented and branched Mieg family with roots in Alsace[1] and is related, for example, to the Swiss composer Peter Mieg. Mieg is an honorary professor of geography at Humboldt University of Berlin, and the president of the Berlin Society for the Study of Science. He is married, has two children, and lives with his family in Berlin.[2]

Studies

Harald Mieg studied psychology, mathematics, and philosophy at the Universities of Munich, Paris Sorbonne, Vienna, and Mannheim. He obtained a PhD in social psychology at the University of Mannheim (with Martin Irle) and his habilitation in social environmental sciences at ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (with Roland W. Scholz). He served as assistant in philosophy (to Harald Delius, Mannheim) and was a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago (with Andrew Abbott, sociology).[3]

Work

Harald Mieg has published numerous review works that serve to define research fields. Mieg's work links issues of learning (e.g., higher education, interdisciplinarity, professionalism) and planning (urban, corporate and political planning). The guiding question is what kinds of expertise and knowledge enable people to plan effectively - and what role sciences can play in this process.[4]

Since the 1990s, Mieg has been active in promoting and implementing student research (learning by research, research-based learning) at an international scale[5][6]. He assisted and advised universities in Switzerland[7], Germany[8], and Austria[9], particularly on community-based student research for sustainable development[10]. In 2021, he initiated the Paris Statement on Digital Undergraduate Research. He was lead editor of the Cambridge Handbook on Undergraduate Research, in cooperation with the US Council on Undergraduate Research CUR.

Varia

2002 Founding of the non-profit foundation "Stiftung Herdforschung Rosemarie Mieg" for research into the relationship between oral pathologies and general diseases (e.g., Focal infection theory).
