UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE

Vita

Nicole Vetter, born in 1985, has been working since October 2012 at the chair for Social Policy and Qualitative Social Research Methods and the Department for Co-operatives. Within her PHD thesis she examined the interplay between interpretive schemes of social inequality and voluntary engagement in the education sector.

After studying social sciences in Cologne and Utrecht and graduating as a sociologist, she volunteered as a language teacher at the Faculty of Economics in Prilep (Macedonia). In addition to her work at the Chair, she has also worked as a freelancer in public schools and carried out analyzes regarding the professional orientation of eighth graders in the Cologne area.

She conducts research on topics of the third sector and volunteer engagement and links them with educational science aspects. She is focused on forms of voluntary engagement in the public school system and the exploration of the diverse relationships that may arise between voluntary engagement and educational inequality. Furthermore, she is also interested in qualitative research methods.
