| on appointment |
| Social Sciences focus on macro-sociological theory and empirical research of migration and integration |
| Sophie Krossa gained her doctorate at the University of Osnabrück as a member of a research group of the German Research Foundation (DFG). From 2007 to 2011 she was Lecturer in European Studies at Lancaster University/UK, and from 2011 to 2015 she has been Associate Professor of Sociology at the universities of both Giessen and Siegen/Germany, with some months of maternity leave in 2012. She has authored, edited and co-edited several books and articles and taught at various universities continuously since 2004. She has developed and established new study programs, an MA and a Dual PhD, and is a reviewer for several journals, publishers and the ESRC. Since 2011, she is the editor of the book series Europe in a Global Context with Palgrave Macmillan. |
| Sociological Theory in particular conflict, society, difference, border, globalisation and Europe. |
| Empirical Research especially on refugees and volunteers, ideas of ‘integration’, practices and communications of exclusion and inclusion, ascriptions of dirtiness/cleanliness and group formation, (non-) integration via sports/football, circulation of material/vestimentary signs |
| Methods qualitative methods, ethnographic approach; mainly ethnographic interview, group discussion, role play, (participant) observation, breaching experiment, discourse analysis |
| Integration via Football? How does integration via sports function? Does it function at all? Which ideas of ‘integration’ do the various actors in the field have and how do they relate? How do the comparatively high support moneys feed into the dynamics? Together with my husband, Dr. Kristian Naglo, and equipped with some incubation funding, I lead a group of five researchers on the subject. In contrast to most studies on the subject, we apply an ethnographic approach, striving to understand deep-reaching, usually hidden practices and structures. |
| Circulation of material/vestimentary signs As part of a larger international research project, led jointly by Prof. Dr. Kornelia Hahn at the University of Salzburg and me, I specifically address the following questions: ‘Which social dynamics of material and human mobilities can be illustrated and analysed via the framework of used clothes donations?’, and ‘Which consequences and functions in relations between volunteers and refugees can be derived from this?’ This is elaborated on the basis of group discussions and ethnographic interviews. |
| Facets of delineation in relations between volunteers and refugees Which necessities of delineation do volunteers perceive in their work on and with refugees? Following a practice-oriented request of a regional institution that works as intermediary and lobbyist for refugee affairs and a small research contract, my colleague Prof. Dr. Judith Lehnart (Psychology) and I jointly lead a research group, comparing attitudes of active volunteers and those who ceased working in the field, in order to develop general counsel in this thematic area. The main methodical approach is group discussion, complemented by ethnographic interviews. |

| Review by Tara Brabazon, Professor of Cultural Studies, Flinders University Adelaide on goodreads, July 23, 2019. “Magnificent. This is theory. This is proper - capital T - brain enlarging - let's take on knowledge - Theory. Krossa takes on the cosmopolitan sociologists and the normative parameters they activate and summons in a rigorous, careful, considered and potent critique. This is a terrific book, the best of what a deep theoretical investigation can achieve. She takes on Beck and Urry and Latour and grinds their arguments into the dust. I am so glad that I found this book. It is one of the few monographs that we read in our lives that changes us. I am a different person after having read this book.” ⇒ External Link |
| Review by Daniela Jauk, Assistant Professor for Sociology and Criminal Justice, University of Akron, OH in Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (2015) 67: 357f. „Das Buch leistet, was der Titel verspricht: Eine Wiederbelebung des aus der Mode gekommenen Begriffs „Gesellschaft“, die in eine kritische Diskussion von Globalisierungsbegriffen eingebettet wird (…). Krossa entwickelt offenere, flexiblere neue Konzepte, die besser in der Lage sind, das Soziale in einem globalen Kontext zu beschreiben und revidiert die Konflikttheorie in vielversprechender Weise (…).Der Mut zur Konflikttheorie und das Überwinden von dichotomen Begriffspaaren sind (…) vielversprechende und richtungsweisende Anleitungen für eine globale Soziologie der Zukunft.“ |
