PoGS PhD Representatives

My PhD project consists of the legal developments of the Geneva Refugee Convention from the perspective of evolutionary interpretation.

The PoGS is an institute that does not only stand for professional development in various areas, but also for a network between peers. I learned a lot through the workshops at the PoGS and I am grateful for many great contactsl I would like to share my enthusiasm for the seminars and programmes of the PoGS with as many people as possible who have not yet heard about it. I would like to become a contact person for PhD candidates, to contribute my own ideas for network meetings and to help to tailor the programms of the PoGs even more precisely to the needs of doctoral students. First of all, I would like to try out a virtual writing day in consultation with the PoGS, where PhD candidates can work with pomodoro units, motivate each other and exchange ideas during the breaks.

My PhD thesis is about the body experience of children in the first year of primary school in sports. I want to find out how relevant it is considered by teachers and kids and how it is actually practised in sports lessons.

Beside my PhD and my work at university, I also work as a primary teacher. Therefore I experience on a daily basis the importance of well functioning networks between the different work areas. To actually make a change, improving working conditions or making fears and wishes seen a „transfer connection“ is needed. Based on my prior experience, my interest in different topics and my communicative personality I would like to help other PhD candidates to make their personal issues seen.
