Associate Professor in Early Childhood Studies, University of Plymouth
I work as Associate Professor in Early Childhood Studies at the University of Plymouth. I hold the German qualification of 'Staatlich Anerkannte Erzieherin', which qualifies me to work with all children outside of school. Therefor my expertise is related to social pedagogy. When my life took me to England, I studied a BA (Hons) in Social Policy at the University of Newcastle and wrote my PhD on the socio-economic experience of childminders in England and in Germany.
My interest in social policy related to young children and families continues. Comparative research allows us to look through different lenses and develop new ideas. Living in different countries, speaking different languages always helps to make the familiar strange and take a closer look.
