Curriculum Vitae
- Shortbio:
A PhD candidate in Learning Sciences, my research focuses on developing and testing “Pedagogical-Psychological Interventions against Misinformation”, supervised by Prof. Peter Edelsbrunner and Prof. Mario Gollwitzer. I hold Master's degrees in Pedagogy (LMU) and Research in Social Work (Munich University of Applied Sciences), and a Bachelor's in Social Work. My Master's theses focused on interventions to promote source credibility assessment and media education in stationary youth welfare. My work is supported by a doctoral scholarship from the Hans Böckler Foundation. Alongside my research, I teach courses in Pedagogy, Learning Sciences, and Social Work at the Chair of Empirical Pedagogy and Educational Psychology. I completed a semester abroad at the University of Bristol, England, in Prof. Stephan Lewandowsky's TedCoG Lab.
I am interested in research on misinformation, conspiracy beliefs and populism. This includes trust in established media, institutions and science. I particularly focus on designing effective interventions and putting them into practice. I am also involved in media education projects on media education, media addiction, etc.
