Introduction
I am interested in broad social scientific questions with concrete relevance and applications. For instance, I wonder how our collective identities and ideas about justice and fairness are changing, and how this affects how we engage with each other politically. My current empirical focus lies on the social science side of climate change, and I am working on a range of research projects in this field.

Attitudes to climate-friendly policies often align with individual political leaning and associated media consumption patterns, but the mechanisms explaining this relationship are not well understood. This study presents an in-depth qualitative analysis of portrayals of political actors from 229 articles published in six German and US news outlets...
Die Erderwärmung und damit einhergehende Fragen und Probleme werden gesellschaftspolitisch immer wichtiger – entsprechend taucht das Thema Klima auch auf der Agenda der Massenmedien auf. In der vorliegenden Inhaltsanalyse wurde untersucht, welchen Anteil Beiträge zum Klima in der „Tagesschau“ (November 2007 bis Oktober 2022) und im Gesamtprogramm v...
How we, as societies, communicate about climate change shapes how we understand and possibly overcome this century-defining challenge — or fail to do so.

Perceptions of climate politics often align with individual political leaning and associated media consumption patterns, pointing to a need for a fine-grained understanding of how the media integrate climate change with political identities. This study presents an in-depth qualitative analysis of political identity portrayals from 229 articles publ...
In an era often characterised by the notions of “post-truth” and “identity politics”, the nexus between communication, knowledge, and identity forms a crucial realm for social-scientific analysis. However, existing approaches, inspired by content, frame, and discourse analysis often rest on a limited conceptualisation of the agency exercised by tho...
How can communication contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through behaviour change and policy support? The existing literature emphasises informing people about the scientific consensus on climate change, but the underlying research has been conducted mainly in the US, where prior beliefs in human-made climate change are lower than in m...
Individual action and support for policy to tackle climate change have been linked to perceptions of political and scientific controversy and consensus concerning the issue. Recent media effects research indicates that presentation of agreement or conflict between actors’ opinions influences how audiences respond to news about climate change and po...
Quantitative text analysis tools have become increasingly popular methods for the operationalization of various types of discourse analysis. However, their application usually remains fairly simple and superficial, and fails to exploit the resources which the digital era holds for discourse analysis to their full extent. This paper discusses the di...
