Hello, I’m Sven.
I'm a pedestrian sociologist, writer, social worker, PR specialist and unix enthusiast.

After working as a Unix administrator in the tech industry and a brief stint as a minimal techno DJ, I earned a Sociology degree from the University of Constance. Concurrently, I worked in sales for various outdoor and mountaineering sports brands, eventually becoming a store manager. From 2021 to 2024, I worked as a social worker, assisting juveniles and refugees in integrating into German society. Since 2024, I have been a PR specialist at a district office, focusing on social matters. I run several blogs, sew ultralight hiking gear, and enjoy living and hiking in the Alps.

Experience

Experienced Sociologist with a Focus on Ethnography. With a deep understanding of sociological theories and ethnographic methods, I have conducted field work and research, shedding light on social structures, power dynamics, and community interactions. My work is characterized by a critical approach that seeks to challenge prevailing structures and explore alternative possibilities. I have gained experience in both academic and practical settings, enabling me to effectively bridge theory and practice. My primary focus lies in studying grassroots movements, community organizations, and forms of collective action, where I develop innovative approaches to understand social realities from diverse perspectives. This experience has equipped me with the skills to analyze and document complex social processes while collaborating closely with various communities to amplify their voices and experiences.
