Profile
Dr. Elisabeth Badenhoop is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer in Government and Policy Research at the Department of Political Science. Her research focuses on the governance and lived experiences of migration and citizenship from a comparative perspective, especially on naturalization procedures, migration control through databases, and migration and climate change. Based on her research expertise on naturalization procedures in the UK and Germany, she contributed as an academic advisor to the report “Becoming one of us: Reforming the UK’s citizenship system for a competitive, post-Brexit world” by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), in response to a UK Home Office consultation on naturalization reform.
Before joining the Martin Luther University in November 2020, Dr. Badenhoop was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, and a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology and an M.Sc. in the Sociology of Equality and Human Rights (with distinction), both from the University of Glasgow, and a B.A. in Social Sciences, Philosophy and Politics from the University of Leipzig. Dr. Badenhoop’s research has been funded by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) and the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and has been published in leading international, peer-reviewed journals, including Governance, Regulation & Governance, Comparative Political Studies, Citizenship Studies and Migration Studies.
