Striking for the Common Good
(2022-08)
The re-emergence of massive strikes in the public education sector, predominantly in the more conservative, union-weak American South, has brought seismic change to the industry and its workers. Solving the puzzle as to why these strikes were so successful against massive obstacles could beget better methods for organizing strikes in a period when neo-liberal reforms threaten public services around the world. Furthermore, an understanding of why these strikes were successful can contribute to the contemporary discourse ...

Automatic affective processes toward different types of exercise and physical activity in adults and children
(2022-03)
Taking a closer look at affective responses to exercise- and physical activity (PA)-related stimuli (regardless of whether they are automatic or deliberative in nature) still represents an area of research on exercise or PA motivation that involves many open questions. From this starting point, the central question is, why so many individuals feel uncomfortable while exercising and further, is this perhaps fundamental to why so many people fail to be sufficiently physically active although they know, that it would ...

How can the concept of gender knowledge explain the gendered nature of the European Recovery Fund “NextGenerationEU”?
(2022-08)
The Covid-19-pandemic reproduced many long-existing gender inequalities and created new ones: women are over-represented in underpaid sectors such as the health care sector and were faced with the double burden of paid and reproductive work in the household, when kindergartens closed. As an answer to the global pandemic, the European Union (EU) implemented a recovery package, the #NextGenerationEU (NGEU) Fund. However, this fund reproduces existing gender inequalities, as most of the money is directed to male-dominated ...

Langzeitpflege in Deutschland
(2022-08)
Deutschland ist eine der am schnellsten alternden Gesellschaften der Welt. Bereits im Jahr 2020 waren 24,1 Millionen Deutsche 60 Jahre oder älter (Statistisches Bundesamt 2022) und es wird prognostiziert, dass diese Gruppe bis 2030 auf 30 Millionen anwachsen könnte. Allein die Bevölkerung ab 80 Jahren wird sich im gleichen Zeitraum von 5,4 Millionen auf rund 10,5 Millionen verdoppeln. Im Jahr 2050 könnten in der Bundesrepublik somit fast doppelt so viele Ältere Menschen wie Kinder und Jugendliche leben (Statistisches ...

The Passive Revolution of Good Living
(2020)
The PhD thesis "The Passive Revolution of Good Living: Class Struggle and Productive Transformation Policy in Ecuador (2007-2017)" suggests an interpretation of Ecuador's so-called ‘Citizens’ Revolution’ – CR – as the political project of a 'cadre fraction’: a ‘state class fraction’ whose legitimacy and political power is grounded in specialized knowledge and planning capabilities. Breaking the “catastrophic equilibrium” in which the anti-neoliberal forces and the dominant classes ended up at the beginning of the ...

Why did OPEC lose its price setting power during the 1980s?
(2021-05)
Since the surge in oil prices during the 1970s there was an increased academic interest in explaining the formation of oil prices and the critical role played by OPEC in this process. A variety of economic models were established to explain the rise of price setting power by OPEC reflected in the massive price increases. During the 1980s, however, against many projections, the surge in oil prices came to a hold and from the 1980s on started to decrease, finally collapsing in 1986 to an unprecedented low. These ...
