Welcome!

I am an Associate Professor of Political Sociology at the Department of Social Sciences, University of Basel, Switzerland.

Previously, I was a senior research fellow (SNSF Ambizione) at the University of Lucerne, a senior researcher (Oberassistentin) at the Department of Political Science, University of Zurich, and a visiting researcher at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

My research focuses on party competition and political behavior in the context of societal and economic changes. In my current research projects, I study the political consequences of economic inequality in Europe with a specific focus on social class. Further, I am interested in the role of political information and group identities in political decision-making.

Further, I have a strong interest in quantitative and computational methods, in particular quantitative text analysis. I am one of the organizers of the Summer School for Women in Political Methodology (with Prof. Theresa Gessler, Prof. Sophia Hunger and Jana Boukemia). The 2023 Summer School took place in July 2023 at the University of Basel.
