Since 2025, I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Basel. My current research focuses on ostracism, broadly understood as experiences of being ignored and excluded by others. In particular, I examine how experiences of ostracism shape political attitudes and behavior—and how political attitudes and behavior, in turn, relate to experiences of ostracism.
