Member in new international research project on sustainable hiring in health professions

Working Paper on short- and longer-term changes in childcare and housework during COVID-19
As being a member and PI of the CoPE Research Project for the last three years, I have had the pleasure to visit Dr. Johanna Lammi-Taskula several times at the THL in Helsinki, Finland. I will miss the great workplace, the view on the small like and the superb canteen at THL!Together with Prof. Minna van Gerven, we wrote a working paper investigating the scope and patterns in couples' division of unpaid domestic work during the pandemic situaiton in Finland.
I am delighted that this collaborative research effort is now published as part of the THL Working Paper Series

Research Visit - Jan-Feb 2025
I am super happy to announce that I received two stipends by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Arts to combine two research visits to NCSU Raleigh and UMass Boston.
In North Carolina, I will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Anna Manzoni at CHASS. In Boston, I will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Stokes at one of the world's oldest Gerontology departments.
I will be giving talks and workshops for undergraduate and graduate students. Find here my slides which contain useful resources.
About Me
When I grew up, I was naturally fascinated by people's behaviours and how they sometimes misaligned with their preferences or resolutions. I have always been passionate about equity and fairness, not only in terms of global social (dis)advantage, but also how we treat animals and our planet. At the same time, I always loved writing, being creative, and solving abstract puzzles using analytical thinking. So, becoming a sociologist came naturally to me.
After receiving my PhD in Sociology at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) in 2017, I joined the Sociology Group at the University of Konstanz (Germany). In 2020, I a was awarded the Zukunftskolleg Postdoctoral Fellowship. In the academic year 2022/2023, I served as an interim professor at the Department of Sociology at LMU Munich. Currently, I am a Co-PI in the project "Covid-19 Policies for Gender Equality (CoPE)" at the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality". Starting in 2025, I will be a research group leader in a project on Social Inequalities in Ageing Societies (SocIAS). Here you find my full CV.
My research interests broadly center around the topics of Life Course, Health, Inequality and Welfare States. To find out more, please visit the site with my research projects or get in touch.
