About
I’m a PhD researcher in sociology at Freie Universität Berlin.
I study how states pursue welfare through land politics, such as agrarian credit, land reform, rural infrastructure, and price supports, and how these interact with labour-based welfare and party competition. I build large-scale historical-comparative (1850 to today) datasets to model these historical-political relations.
