Isabella Pfusterer has been working as a predoctoral fellow at the Research Center for Sustainability since July 2023. She is pursuing her Ph.D. in the project "The Deserving Rich - a multidisciplinary analysis of the (German) production/reproduction of wealth."

In her dissertation, she explores the self-narratives of the wealthy. Through a historical discourse analysis, she examines the arguments used by the rich to justify their privileges in the past 150 years. The analysis focuses on the German Reich, as well as the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic.

Research interests: poverty and wealth research, development theory and critique, theories of climate justice, qualitative social research (particularly discourse analysis)
