MSc Yevhen Voronin
Research fellow
I am a research fellow in Prof. Mark Lutter’s team, with scientific interests in quantitative sociology and computational social science; consumption and taste; cultural stratification; cultural policies; social transformations; inequality and redistribution.
I completed my bachelor's degree in sociology at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv, Ukraine) and master's degree (MSc) in sociology and social research at the University of Cologne (Cologne, Germany). My master's thesis, titled "Examining Relationships Between Cultural Omnivorousness and Values," was supervised by Prof. Dr. Eldad Davidov and PD Dr. Daniel Seddig.
From 2019 to 2022, I worked at GESIS, initially as a student assistant and later as a researcher in the Metadata Team of the Data Services for the Social Sciences department. In 2022, I joined the University of Wuppertal to pursue my Ph.D. dissertation.
Current projects
- Social stratification of cultural taste and cultural participation;
- Social influence in cultural markets;
- Methodological questions of cultural omnivorousness;
- Cultural consumption in Ukraine during the war.
