As summer is in full swing, our team has a small update to share.


After saying goodbye to two of our student assistants in our last post, we're happy to welcome a new student assistant, Saioa Miguéliz Hausotter, to the team. She joined the project in May and is pursuing a B.A. in Sociology at the University of Konstanz.


To bring a little summer feeling to the blog, our team is sharing their favorite places to cool off on a hot day:


The University of Konstanz beach


The sunset at the beach


Herosé-Park in Konstanz


Goodbye and thank you!

Janina Reinmuth and Yeganeh Moussavi have both successfully passed their Master's theses at the University of Konstanz and have moved on to new positions.


Yeganeh stays in Konstanz and works at the ZfP Reichenau as a Project Coordinator in a project on mental health among refugees (BW schützt).


Janina is doing her PhD at the Centre for Preventive Medicine and Digital Health (CPD) at the Medical Faculty Mannheim (UMM) of Heidelberg University.


We would like to thank both for their work in the team and the nice excursions and hikes. Congratulations and all the best for your next career steps!
