My research field is social scientific rural studies within the discipline of social and public policy. I hold a PhD on the transformation of citizen participation in rural welfare services. My expertise lies in the study of rural civic action and the relationship between civil society and the welfare state.

My current research interests include rural service networks and the social economy, rural civic action, village safety and everyday security with a particular focus on community preparedness, digital exclusion, multilocal living, and the state and future of rural studies.

I work as a special advisor in the Rural Policy Council’s (MANE) network for “Rural habitability, housing, and integration in rural areas” (MaalleKo), and I am also a member of the Rural Policy Council’s secretariat. I participate in networks and working groups composed of representatives from science, politics, and civil society.
