Profile


Karolina Fetz has been working as a research associate at BIM since July 2015 and did her PhD on maintenance mechanisms of subtle ethnic prejudices.

Since July 2019, she is a research associate (co-project leader) of the BMFSFJ-funded junior research group „Determinants of radicalization-related resilience in adolescence“.

Previously, she worked on a project on experiences of discrimination in Germany on behalf of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, among others. Prior to her work at BIM, Karolina Fetz was a research assistant at the Institute of Educational Sciences at the University of Osnabrück.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of social psychology and migration and integration research, particularly in the area of quantitative and experimental research on attitudes, prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination as well as intergroup relations.
