Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

Stefanie's overall research interest is the study of structures that marginalise people at work, and the evalutation of interventions to make a workplace more inclusive. She currently focusses on the research and innovation sector where she examines

- the effectiveness of EDI training

- the functional unawareness of exclusive processes

- the role of mentoring programmes

- and bias in the review process. For a recently published evidence review, follow this link.

Stefanie has also published on the concept of professional intercultural communicative competence and how specifically developed training materials may support refugees and migrants seeking gainful employement. A link to the book authored with the team of the CSLW project can be found here.
