Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Political Sociology and Social Policy

Hanna Schwander will not be supervising any work in the coming summer semester due to a research sabbatical and will not be offering a research colloquium. Students can contact her deputy, Ms. Nadja Wehl (nadja.wehl@uni-konstanz.de), during this time.

Research and teaching at the Chair of Political Sociology and Social Policy are concerned with the interaction between politics and society, with a special focus on the modern welfare state. We are particulary invested in the question of how post-industrial transformations of welfare states, labour markest and societies have an impact on aspects of political life.

Research Interests

• Political parties, voter attachments and political representation
• Inequality and attitudes towards the welfare state
• Climate change: attitudes and political action
• Affective polarization
• Social norms, colonial origins of development
