Vita
I am a senior research associate at the Robert K. Merton Center for Science Studies, currently working on global replication initiatives and the general open science community in the DFG-funded research project “replication as a social movement”.
Prior to this, I worked as a research and teaching assistant at the School for Library & Information Science, department of Science Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for several years. Simultaneously, I worked as a research associate and eventually PI for the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center at the Universität Tübingen in a VW Foundation grant-project, researching the drastic (and subliminal) changes in living and working conditions for academics during the covid pandemic and related lockdowns.
I am furthermore a standing member of the Research Committee Sociology of Science and Technology of the International Sociology Association (ISA) as well as of the Network for Political Sociology of the European Sociology Association (ESA).
The research subjects of my doctoral thesis evolved around: Emotion in politics, argumentative structures, the impact of populism on political discourse culture, British politics, U.S. elections, Pragmatic Sociology of Critique / French Pragmatism.
I graduated from Universität Osnabrück with a B.A. in social & political sciences in 2011 and from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin with an M.A. in social sciences in 2015 and a Doctorate in Sociology in 2024.
