Research

In my research I mainly focus on voter and party behavior, the explanation of political attitudes and attitudes towards political representation in different contexts.

I am particularly interested in explaining voting behavior and political attitudes. On the one hand, I analyze the effect of populism on voting behavior on the national as well as local level. On the other hand, I focus on explaining voters‘ political attitudes towards political representation. Further, I am interested in the success of Independent Local Lists (Kommunale Wählergemeinschaften) on the local level, where I focus on the impact of populist parties on the success of ILL. In this context, I also engage with the attitudes towards representation and behavior of Independent Local Lists‘ candidates and voters.
