Biography

Ann-Kathrin Reinl received her PhD from the University of Cologne (with distinction) in 2021 with a dissertation on transnational solidarity in times of crises. During her doctorate, she completed research stays at Nuffield College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford as well as at the EUI. Following her PhD, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München, where she was responsible for the 2019 Euromanifesto project. Before taking up her Max Weber Fellowship, she was an FWO Research Fellow at Ghent University, working on her LOTSEU research project, which explores the importance of local contextual factors for solidarity in the European Union.

As a Max Weber Fellow, she is continuing the work on her project by expanding its methodological approaches and targeting a corresponding book publication. In addition, Ann-Kathrin is interested in studying political attitudes and participation in democratic regimes.
