Prof. Dr. Vera Trappmann

I joined Leeds University in 2015 as an Associate Professor in Work and Employment Relations and become Full Professor in 2019. Prior to this I was a Junior Professor of European Studies at Magdeburg University in Germany.
I obtained my PhD at the European University Viadrina in 2009 after completing a Diplom in sociology at Bielefeld University and a Master degree in Russian and East European Studies at Stanford University. I held postdoctoral appointments at FSU Jena (2009), Osnabrueck University (2011), and Duisburg-Essen University (2014). I was invited as an international visitor to Warsaw Academy of Sciences (2011), Toulouse Business School (2011), Jagiellonen University Cracow (2006), Wissenschaftzyentrum Berlin (2023).

I am co-lead of the Priestley Just Transitions theme, which brings together academics in the university working on the links between climate and justice. I am also a Research Associate in digit Digital Futures at Work Research Centre.
