The many faces of GESIS
Vita
I recently completed my PhD at the Graduate School of Economics an Social Sciences in August 2024 and I am currently affiliated with Deutschlandmonitor at GESIS. Previously, I studied Social Science (B.Sc.) at the University of Cologne and Sociology - European Societies (M.A.) at Free University Berlin. I was employed as a doctoral candidate in the Research Project DigitalQWE at GESIS. From 2018 to 2020 I was employed at the Berlin Social Science Center in the Projects Understanding NEETs and in the Research Group "National Educational Panel Study".Research
My research interests mainly revolve around the fields of social inequalities, especially the topics of labour market research, youth social exclusion and changes in society and work through digitalisation, in social and political engagement and in quantitative research. In my PhD thesis I investigate the impact of digitalisation of the working world on individuals and society.Publications
