Since July 2019, Ms Globisch has been a researcher at the IAB, where she is conducting research on the "Participation Opportunities Act" and the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her research focuses on processes of inclusion and exclusion, (social) political governance and relational autonomy of individuals and institutions. In addition to social policy and poverty research, with special emphasis on the interface between counselling and mediation in the labour administration, her research focuses on right-wing extremism and antisemitism (on the World Wide Web and social media) as well as qualitative methods of empirical social research.
