Hochschule Bielefeld – University of Applied Sciences and Arts

Prof. Dr. Gudrun Dobslaw is a Professor for Counseling and Psychosocial Intervention at Hochschule Bielefeld. As a practitioner, she has extensive experience working with clients, especially those who are at risk of participation restrictions and social stigmatization. One of her research interests relates to how social roles are constituted and reproduced in the interaction between groups of actors in social work from an ethnomethodological perspective. Within RESPOND! she will lead the focus group investigation exploring young people’s capacities and vulnerabilities to anti-Semitic hate rhetoric online.

Justine Kohl completed her master’s degree in linguistics at Bielefeld University. During and after her studies, she worked there for several years as a research assistant in the “Language and Communication” department. Through Hochschule Bielefeld (Department of Social Work) she is now working in the RESPOND! project as a research assistant. In the context of her dissertation, she would like to explore subtly held manifestations of anti-Semitic hate speech microanalytically and in the interactive course – methodically, she follows the approach of conversation analysis.
