Education

Whilst at the University of Hamburg I read Sociology, Statistics, Social and Economic History, History; German, English, Psychology. After obtaining the first qualification (Zwischenprűfung), an equivalent to the B.A., I spent two years in England, studying at Warwick University (1988/ 89) reading Sociology with History, Politics and  English Literature and at the University of York (1991/ 92) reading Sociology. Whilst studying in York I was employed as a Foreign Language Assistant. 

In 1996 I graduated from the University of Hamburg with an M.A. in Sociology with History and English Literature.
