Dissertation Project
For my doctoral thesis I am conducting research on couples moving in together for the first time. The focus is on the process of moving in, furnishing, and settling in together, the meaning of personal and shared things and living with them, and the interpretation and significance of the apartment as a personal and shared home. I approach these research objects empirically through narrative couple interviews, walking interviews, and photographic material. Theoretically, my research builds on the concept of the construction of reality according to Berger and Luckmann (1969) and its specification for couples by Berger and Kellner (1964) and Lenz (2009). Central for me is on the one hand the joint construction of the partners and on the other hand the question how the material dimension, concretized in the apartment and the personal things in it, can be systematically taken into account.
My dissertation project is supervised by Prof. Dr. Katharina Manderscheid and Prof. em. Dr. Karl Lenz.
