Abstract
To what extent do issues such as climate change or place of residence influence voting decisions and attitudes? How do candidates present themselves on Twitter and to what extent do they represent the electorate both in terms of content and socio-demographics? The upcoming issue of easy is dedicated to the 2021 German federal election. Eight articles deal with research questions from the field of electoral research, with a particular focus on data from the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES).

Doctoral Researcher

I am a doctoral researcher in Political Science at the University of Cologne.

My research lies at the intersection of European politics, comparative politics, and political communication. One recurring focus of my research concerns how political actors and citizens respond to crises and institutional constraints in multilevel political systems, with a particular focus on Europe.

Substantively, my work examines crisis governance, political communication, and public attitudes toward democratic institutions. Methodologically, I combine theory-driven research with survey experiments, large-scale text data, and computational approaches to the study of political behavior and political discourse.
