- Abstract
The following article deals with hindering and facilitating factors that influence the engagement of students and student councils in university political committees. In addition, it addresses differences in student council work and committee participation between different disciplines and their professional cultures as well as relevant political socialization experiences in the context of engagement. The research is based on 17 group discussions and a questionnaire survey with 105 students, conducted in the project „Partizipation von Studierenden in Gremien“ (engl. „Student Participation in Committees“), from 2019-2020 at the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. The presented results mainly refer to the analysis of the group discussions, which is done in terms of grounded theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). As a result, seven dimensions could be identified, each of which has an influence on student council involvement and committee participation: (1) relationship to everyday study, (2) time compatibility, (3) knowledge of university structures, (4) degree of organization, (5) number of active members, (6) room situation, and (7) recognition by professors, lecturers, and students. On a superordinate level, differences are particularly evident between students of medical und natural science courses on the one hand and those of social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities on the other.
