Unequal Recognition? 'Work' and 'Love' in the Life Context of Precariously Employed People
This DFG project (Wi2142/5-1) was located at the University of Tübingen for the first year and then at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and was directed by Prof. Christine Wimbauer. Mona Motakef and Ellen Ronnsiek were research associates. The project ran from 1 May 2014 to 30 September 2017.
Maria Weber Grant of the Hans Böckler Foundation
With the Maria Weber Grant, the Hans Böckler Foundation supports outstanding researchers in the postdoc phase. At the Institute of Social Sciences at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Mona Motakef researched whether the precariousness of insecure employees extends to their life context, and thus also to close relationships, or whether these can cushion possible recognition deficits from the employment period. For this research, she received a Hans Böckler Foundation-funded substitution for her courses in the Winter Semester 2018 / 2019.
