Soziologie

We are happy to welcome Susanna Soosaar, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Tartu, Estonia to Bielefeld University! For the next two weeks, Susanna will be working closely together with Prof. Sonja Blum and Nora Habelitz on the role of emotions in climate policy narratives in Estonia and Germany. The research is part of the Bielefeld-based work package within the Horizon Europe project "CIDAPE - Climate, Inequality, and Democratic Action: The Power of Political Emotions". 

Susanna is a research fellow at the University of Tartu and has a background in literary studies. Her current research delves into crisis ordinariness and feelings of discontent in contemporary literary texts. Within the CIDAPE project, Susanna studies how emotions are encoded, expressed, and potentially mobilized within climate policy texts.
