I am a research methodologist and very much interested in inclusion policies and equality issues. As a research methodologist I hope to be able to contribute to increasing and building knowledge on the topic.

I am a research methodologist with experience with and expertise in different types of research approaches. My approach is characterized by paradigmatic flexibility and tolerance. This supports the use of a mix of different research methods as well as modes of analysis while being guided primarily by the researcher's desire to produce valid and socially useful knowledge. The important questions are whether the research has achieved the research goals and whether the gained knowledge is valid.
I currently work as a research fellow, being responsible for the research methods education at Master´s level at the Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Human Sciences of Cologne University, the consultanc centre for research methods, and I have time for my own research.
Fields of expertise: Evidence for policy / knowledge valorization, Monitoring and evaluation
