Research interests
My focus of interest lies in the fields of Gender Studies, Labour, Qualitative Methodology and Discourse Analysis. In my research I investigate gendered segregations in education and the labour market as well as divisions of labour in families. In my PhD thesis I analysed career aspirations, family formation and identity concepts in the life plans of young adults.
