Researcher for the Project POLAR

Vita

Claudia Traini is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project POLAR 'Polarization and its discontents: does rising economic inequality undermine the foundations of liberal societies?' at the chair for social stratification and social policy since October 2022. Within the project, she focuses on the effects of economic inequality on social mobility.

She obtained her PhD in April 2022 from the University of Bamberg (Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences, BAGSS). In her cross-country comparative thesis, she investigated the moderating effects of stratification of education systems on the associations of the OED triangle of mobility research.

Previously, she worked at the chair for social scientific research on education in the department of educational sciences at the University of Potsdam (April 2021 to September 2022) and in the NORFACE project LIFETRACK 'Life Course Dynamics of Educational Tracking' at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories, LIfBi (February 2019 to March 2021). Within the LIFETRACK project, she carried out empirical analyses of German longitudinal data to identify long-term (educational and occupational) consequences of school tracking.

She studied Sociology (B.A. and M.A.) at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy).

Her research has been published in Comparative Education Review, International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, and Contemporary Social Sciences.
