Christian Bröer

Universiteit van Amsterdam, Politieke Sociologie

I am associate professor of sociology, leading a number of research projects and educational teams. My central scientific concern is with the political origins of subjectivity. Particularly I want to find out how the experience of a problem and political processes interact in cases like bodily (over)activity, sadness, (over)weight, mobile phone technology or aircraft noise. Conceptually, I aim to further develop medicalization theory. Methodologically I try to advance qualitative methods through systematizing collaborative longitudinal approaches.
