Supervision of BA and MA theses
So far, I acted as supervisor for more than 20 undergraduate dissertations as well as three master theses at the Universities of Mainz and Duisburg-Essen, dealing with topics such as the operationalization of political knowledge, qualitative analyses of in- and out-group perceptions of right-wing supporters, empirical analyses of the German welfare regime, the impact of sport events on nationalistic attitudes as well as the impact of issue and candidate orientations on electoral choices in comparative perspective. Currently, I supervise dissertations at the University of Duisburg-Essen as well as HU Berlin.
Supervision of PhD dissertations
Currently, I supervise two PhD projects as primary supervisor at the University of Duisburg-Essen where I am a PD (Privatdozentin). If you’re interested in persuing a PhD with me as a supervisor, which should be ideally empirical research with a solid theoretical foundation, feel free to contact me with your ideas.
I am particularly interested in the social and political integration of immigrant-origin citizens and young voters, as well as the impact of personality and social identities (such as negative partisanship, national and ethnic identities) on political behaviour. Furthermore, I do research on affective polarization as well as surveys (incentives, sampling methods), but also care about related topics.
