For me, sociology is the attempt to understand the world of people in all its complexity. In order to find out that it is this world that I would like to understand, I took some detours: via competitive sport, then natural sciences. In the laboratory, amidst biochemical apparatuses and substances, it became clear at some point that I was not so much thinking about the contents of my test tubes but about those who deal with them – people (even if disguised as scientists). That’s how I got into sociology, and I don’t want to get away from it. Only for my husband and children, and occasionally for my guitar and some good movies (and popcorn). Apart from that, I want to get to the bottom of people and their strangely fascinating, occasionally frustratingly diverse and ambiguous activities. On my website I write about what I encounter while doing so, I write about what moves me – in research, teaching and in general. Whenever I have the time and the desire to do so. This makes things easier to clarify and classify, a bit like a digital diary of thoughts.
