Prior to her academic career, Isabelle was a Social Worker with several years of work experience. As such she supported young people in their transitions from school to work in Hannover and Berlin. Combining her academic expertise with her work experience, Isabelle is particularly interested in the political economy of skill formation, the role of policy framing in institutionalisation processes and quantitative text analysis. Her research shifts the focus from formal institutions to the framing of and sociocultural narratives surrounding policies, considered to have grown over decades and centuries.
