Dear students,

I cannot supervise theses in the field of psychology.

Our department is very broad and we have some colleagues who specialise in psychology and others – like me – who deal with international and intercultural topics from a sociological perspective. I'm happy to discuss with you topics related to the areas mentioned above.

Liebe Studierende,
