Abstract

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iceland. I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Leipzig and earned my PhD at the University of Duisburg-Essen. As a sociologist, I employ quantitative analysis to identify the underlying causes of educational inequalities. My research focuses on the challenges of educational upward mobility in stratified education systems. In particular, I am interested in educational transitions, such as the transition from lower to upper secondary education or the transition to higher education and the subsequent educational attainment of upwardly mobile students.
