Katja Levy
About
I am an Associate Professor for Political Science, specialised in comparative politics and international relations of China and East Asia. My educational background is political science and China Studies. My previous positions include Assistant Professor at the Department of Chinese Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, and the Faculty of East Asia Studies, Ruhr Universität Bochum; Lecturer at the Center for Cultural Studies on Science and Technology in China, Technische Universität Berlin; and Research Fellow at the Manchester China Institute, University of Manchester. I have also worked outside academia: as Administrative Manager for a German multinational Company in Shanghai and as research assistant of a member of the German Bundestag.
In my research I mainly use qualitative methods. My earlier research and teaching include projects on EU-China foreign policy relations; civil society, state-society relations, and welfare service provision; China's South-South relations; China's domestic politics; and digitialisation and its consequences on China's society.
Currently I am working on a comparative project on Volunteering in the UK and China (https://volunteeringukcn.wordpress.com/)
