About me
My research focuses on four areas of healthcare and policy with particular interest in international comparison and global health policy: (1) healthcare systems, policy and governance, (2) health workforce governance and professions, (3) gender equality and public health, (4) organization and management. My research interests reflect my own multi-professional background as specialised nurse in intensive care/anaesthesiology, Master Public Health, and PhD and post-doc qualification (Habilitation) in sociology; my theses addressed issues of healthcare, policy and professions, as well as gender equality.
Academic employment positions in Germany include Interim Professorships at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Goethe-University Frankfurt, the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Technical University Dortmund, and the Faculty of Sociology (Health and Healthcare), University of Siegen, and Assistant Professor at the Centre for Social Policy Bremen. I gathered clinical experience in nursing at a university hospital and a mental health/geriatric hospital. As programme coordinator for 'health promotion at the workplace' at a sickness fund I got deeper insights in management tasks and the statutory organisations of the healthcare system.
International employment positions include two Guest Professorships at Aarhus University, Denmark, Department of Public Health (2019, spring term) and Department of Political Science (2012, spring term), Guest/ Senior Researcher at the Medical Management Centre, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden (2015, FORTE/ Swedish Research Council research grant) and Senior Lecturer for Social Policy and Sociology at the University of Bath, UK (2007-12). Fellowships at McMaster University Canada, Norwegian Social Research Institute (NOVA) Oslo, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and Kaoshiung Medical University Taiwan add further international experience.
I am associate member of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Heath Workforce Policies and Planning, Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal and the Center for Health Workforce Research and Policy, Department of Public Health, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania; https://cerus.publichealth.ro/. I also serve(d) as consultant to the WHO European Region and advisor to the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, as well as to national committees and professional associations in Germany on health professions and gender in public health. In 2017, I initiated the section 'Health Workforce Research' of the European Public Health Association (EUPHA-HWR; https://eupha.org/health-workforce-research) and was President from 2017-2023. In Germany I was Steering Board member of the Global Health Research Alliance Germany (GLOHRA), 2021-22 (https://globalhealth.de/).
Further international experiences and professional responsibilities include having served as Vice-President of the European Sociological Association (ESA) (2011-13), as President of Research Committee 52 ‘Professional Groups’ of the International Sociological Association (ISA) (2012-16), and member of the Executive Board of ISA Research Committee 15 ‘Health’ (2014-18). I was member of the Management Committee of the EU FP7 COST action on ‘Medicine and Management’ (IS0903) where I chaired a Working Group. I have served as Associate Editor of BMC Health Services Research and of the European Health Management Association (EHMA) Journal ‘Health Services Management Research’. I am sitting on the Editorial Boards of numerous international journals and serve as reviewer for a wide range of international journals, for the EU COST action, the ESF, and national research councils and foundations in several countries.
