Abstract

While my studies, I developed an academic interest between Theology, History and Philosophy.

I work since 2017 as 'Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben' mainly as lecturer in Systematic Theology with some obligations in Church History. From April 2023 to March 2024 I additionally worked as 'Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter' in Church History (by Prof. Dr. Armin Kohnle).

My PhD-thesis is about Ernst Troeltsch and the United States. I got a sholarship from December 2019 to January 2023 by Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung. My academic supervisor is Prof. Dr. Rochus Leonhardt and the defense of my doctoral thesis was in January 2025.
