Welcome!

I’m a Doctoral Candidate at the Chair of Comparative Politics at the University of Greifswald. My research explores questions of political representation, political behaviour, gender and politics, and social inequalities.

 

For my PhD, I study how staffers as unelected political actors shape politics in parliament with a focus on women’s political representation. I am further part of the research project “Can a woman do the job? Introducing a gender perspective on legislative oversight,” funded by the Thyssen Foundation and led by Prof. Dr. Corinna Kröber (University of Greifswald) and Ass.-Prof. Dr. Sarah Dingler (University of Innsbruck).

Overall, I am very interested in empirically tested solutions for the societal challenges of our time, particularily with regard to social identities and marginalization. 

Feel free to explore my research and current projects — I’d be happy to hear from you.
