In Research: Since 2010 I have worked in various qualitative research projects and I always used MAXQDA for the analysis. To give you an insight into my research, I summarize the most important aspects of my projects in the following:

1. For my PhD thesis "Gender - Metal - Video Clips" (2010-2014; Institute of Musicology/University of Graz)
2. For the FWF/DFG research project "After Bologna: Gender Studies in Entrepreneurial Universities" (2012-2014; Institute of Sociology/University of Graz & ZIFG/TU Berlin)
3. The research project "Political Participation in the Austrian region Voitsberg" (2014-2015; Spectro/Graz & Vienna)
4. In the FWF PEEK research project "GAPPP: Gamified Audiovisual Performance and Performance Practice" (2016-2017; Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics/University of Music and Performing Arts Graz)
5. Currently I am working at the Web Literacy Lab at the FH JOANNEUM – University of Applied Sciences Graz (2016-2021)

Teaching: Teaching: Since 2014, I have worked as a MAXQDA teacher at the GMZ - Grazer Methodenkompetenzzentrum (Methodological Competence Centre in Graz, Austria). Furthermore, I have taught qualitative research methods within various academic curricula at different universities since 2009. In my courses, I have always discussed MAXQDA with my students and I have introduced them to employ MAXQDA for different analysis strategies, such as grounded theory, qualitative content analysis or discourse analysis.
