I am a post-doctoral researcher at GESIS-Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and external fellow at the Mannheim Center for European Social Research. In 2019-20 I was a JFK Memorial Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University and spent 4 months as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies the European University Institute in Florence in 2016.
Previously, I studied sociology and economics in Leipzig (until 2009). From 2010-2014 I was a PhD-student at the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences (GESS) at the University of Mannheim. In my dissertation, I examined theoretically and empirically whether societal developments such as population ageing or financial crises affect the way how people form and change their attitudes towards the welfare state. My research interests are related to political sociology, comparative political economy, welfare state preferences, and survey methodology. One main contribution of my work is the use of innovative (experimental) research designs to study attitude change. |
