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 foreign policy, which I approach from mainly two different angles. First, I am interested in how the discursive construction of meaning impacts foreign policy. Here I try to combine the perspective of “Essex School” discourse theory with insights from feminist ans postcolonial approaches. Second, I also rely on approaches that focus on foreign policy decision making (Foreign Policy Analysis).
Before coming to Kiel Unviersity in 2015, I worked at the University of Bremen as a Research Officer for the Institutional Strategy. My doctoral dissertation, which I completed at the University of Bremen (Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences) in 2017, received received the 2018 EISA Best Dissertation Award.
The website provides information about my career, my past and current research as well as my publications.
In my research, I focus mainly on:
- International Political Sociology
- Critical Security Studies and Critical Military Studies, in particular with respect to the German armed forces (Bundeswehr)
- Foreign Policy Analysis and the increasing role of non-state actors in foreign policy
- Discourse theory
- Populism and global order
