Globalization - understood as the expansion, deepening and acceleration of worldwide economic, sociocultural and political interactions - has not only decisively changed the international order and nation states, but also the situation of each individual by creating new forms of inequality, uncertainties and risks, but also new opportunities for European states and their citizens. At its core, my research focuses on this area of tension and comprises two main pillars. The first pillar of my research agenda consists of examining these different forms of new inequalities, opportunities and risks. For instance, I am investigating labor market integration of highly skilled immigrants. Second, I examine the social conflicts in Europe arising from globalization pressures. Citizens´ reactions as well as the social polarization caused by economic, socio-cultural and political globalization thus constitute the second pillar of my research agenda.

In order to implement my research agenda, I rely on a comparative approach as well as a variety of quantitative methods and mixed methods. My research profile combines on the one hand the sociology of social inequality, the sociology of Europe, political sociology and the sociology of migration; on the other hand, it is located at the intersection with other disciplines, such as political science or cultural studies.
