Johanna Köchling, MSc

"Pull up a chair and sit down - this is about eating". More precisely, about eating together, its processes and our perception of it. Together with my colleagues, I conduct collective research on the collective. I'm also interested in the intersection of sustainability and eating behavior and want to take a closer look at perception, reality and ideals. I particularly enjoy working in a team with lots of opportunities to exchange ideas and inspire each other."
