CV

SVENJA FLECHTNER

I obtained a doctoral degree in economics (Dr. rer. pol.) from the Europa-Universität Flensburg in 2016. My thesis was concerned with Aspirations and the persistence of poverty and inequalities. I studied Languages, Economics and Cultural Studies (diploma) as well as Governance and Public Policy (BA) at the University of Passau and the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. As a student, I spent a highschool year in the Dominican Republic and returned there many times, e.g. to do research and to learn from people at the Centro des Estudios Sociales Juan Montalvo. Before my doctoral studies, I gained some practical experience in the development sector, e.g. at the German Development Institute (DIE) and the German Corporation for International Cooperation GmbH (giz).
