The TRANSNORMS project explores how international norms are translated between the global and local level. Using topic modeling methods, we analyze how international human rights and climate norms are addressed and framed domestically. The research project is funded under the DFG’s “Reinhart Koselleck” scheme. The research is carried out in collaboration with Prof. Thomas Risse and Prof. Mathis Lohaus (Freie Universität Berlin).

Researcher in Political Science
I am passionate about exploring and comparing human rights protection, state coercion, and the role of science and academic freedom in democratic as well as authoritarian contexts. For my work and studies, I have received various scholarships and awards, and spent considerable time abroad in countries on five continents. I was previously a visiting scholar at Stanford University, USA, and a research fellow at the Global Public Policy Institute, Germany, where I co-developed the Academic Freedom Index. I hold a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Freiburg.
