In my dissertation I'm researching age-based/generational conflicts and political parties in Germany and France. This has lead to an additional research focus on party sub-organizations such as senior groups and party youth wings. Outside the scope of my dissertation project, I'm interested in political representation (especially youth representation and the lack thereof) and political demography (ageing societies).
