Research

I am interested both in the social processes resulting in segregation of social networks and in how such segregation influences individual attributes such as ethnic and/or religious identities and intergroup attitudes.

In an ongoing project, I combine these quantitative methods for observational data with both qualitative methods (group discussions) and experimental methods (choice experiments). Find out more about our project at the MZES website.

Outside of the University of Mannheim, I collaborate with:
