Welcome to my personal website!
I am a Research Fellow at Kiel University’s Research Group on International Political Sociology. My work focuses mainly on International Political Sociology, sociological and political theory (in particular discourse theory), peace and security policy, and populism. My doctoral dissertation, which I completed at the University of Bremen (Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences) in 2017, received the 2018 EISA Best Dissertation Award.
Before coming to Kiel University in 2015, I worked at the University of Bremen as a Research Officer for the Institutional Strategy. There I was a member of the five-person “core team” that organized the university’s successful application in the third funding line “Institutional Strategies” of the German Excellence Initiative and co-authored a successful grant application to establish the post-doc program “BREMEN TRAC“, co-funded by the European Commission’s 7th Framework Program. From 2019 until 2020 I was a DAAD Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Washington, DC.
This website provides information about my career, my past and current research, publications and conference papers as well as an overview of courses taught.
In my research, I focus mainly on:
- International Political Sociology
- Peace, conflict and security policy
- Critical Security Studies and Critical Military Studies, in particular with respect to the German armed forces (Bundeswehr)
- Discourse theory
- Populism, in particular its transnational and international dimension
