Julia Teebken joined the Environmental Policy Research Centre (FFU) in January 2019. She is part of the research group Policy Assessment, which works in the fields of policy impact assessment, transformative approaches of environmental politics, and strategies in sustainability policy. The work of the research group combines both, basic research and applied policy consultancy for national and international clients. In this capacity, Julia Teebken currently works in the BMBF project: „Keeping a cool head in hot times“: How "governance by integrative visions" (GoIngVis) can support cities in achieving heat risk resilience. As part of the project, she researches and coordinates climate adaptation and participation processes together with citizens and actors in the concerned partner cities.

Since 2015, Julia Teebken has been enrolled at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of FU Berlin, where she is now finalizing her PhD project on human susceptibility to climate impacts and barriers to transformative climate adaptation. Before starting her PhD at Freie Universität Berlin, she received a MA degree in Ethics, Peace and Global Affairs from American University in Washington D.C. During this program, she developed a focus on climate ethics in the context of political philosophy. In 2012, she received a B.A. degree in China Studies with a minor in Political Science from Freie Universität Berlin. During her studies, Julia spent terms as a visiting scholar at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. (2018), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2017-2018), as well as Emory University in Atlanta (2017). Beyond that, she spent short research stays in Indonesia (2014), Malaysia (2013, 2014) and Myanmar (2013, 2014) and completed several internships and projects abroad (Beijing, Jinhua, New Delhi).
