Astrid Wallrabenstein



Professor of public law with a focus on social law at Goethe University Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
2018‒2020 (Goethe Fellow)

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Migration and Equity in the Social Welfare State«

Project outline:
New or at least recently-perceived currents of migration are currently calling the self-understanding of national social welfare states into question and leading to societal and political changes that are now being interpreted as surprising and unexplainable or unpredictable. This project intends to contribute to the evaluation and explanation on three analytical levels and to tie this to positions and recommendations for the constitution of social welfare states in the modern conditions of migration at least in Europe. First, the project will develop more complex models for the comparison of social welfare states with relation to their handling of immigration. Second, we will generate and discuss ideas for the further development of the European Union into a space for social welfare states. Third, academic reflection on the current implementation of (neo)liberal concepts of equity will be transferred to the concrete national and European debates on immigration and social law reform. (Astrid Wallrabenstein)
