Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg

Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a behavioral economist who holds a PhD in Economics (2015) as well as an M.A. (2011) and a B.A. in Economics (2009) from the University of Kassel. She also completed vocational training as an industrial clerk (2008). Before joining Bard College Berlin, she was a Research Associate (Post-Doc) at the “Chair of Economic Policy and SME Research”, University of Göttingen (2015-2021) and a Research Fellow at the “Economic Policy Research Group”, University of Kassel (2011-2015).

Her research interests are focused on ecological economics, pro-environmental behavior, identity economics, industrial dynamics/innovation, self-employment/entrepreneurship, and especially subjective well-being research. Recently, she has been most interested in the following areas of this field: (1) Implications of identity on human behavior (e.g. in the form of green identity or "artificial group identity"), (2) the extent to which occupational identity is conducive to worker well-being, and (3) the relationship between self-employment/entrepreneurship and well-being. 
Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg received a grant in 2019 from the Ministry of Science and Culture (Lower Saxony) to research life satisfaction and identity in the skilled crafts and trades (“www.handwerksstolz.de”). Her research has appeared in internationally recognized journals such as Research Policy, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Ecological Economics and Social Indicators Research.

Ayse Cavdar

Ayşe Çavdar completed her BA degree in Journalism at Ankara University and received her MA in History at Boğaziçi University in Turkey. She completed her doctoral thesis titled "The Loss of Modesty: The Adventure of Muslim Family from Neighborhood to Gated Community" at the European University of Viadrina in 2014 (supported by Global Prayers Project initiated by MetroZones). In 2017, she started her postdoctoral fellowship position at Käte Hamburger Kolleg - Center for Global Cooperation Research in Duisburg. Then, she continued her work as a visiting scholar at the Philipps University in Marburg for two and a half years.
Alongside her academic career, Çavdar has also been a journalist for three decades, working on diverse political, cultural, and social issues. She participated and worked for different NGOs in Turkey professionally and as a volunteer. Her current academic interests include urban and religious studies focusing particularly on middle-class living spaces and religious performativities. Recently, her work centered on two new topics. The first one is the nationalist and religious symbolization of the state as an idea(l) and affect. Second, is the focus on the new secularities rising among the youths in Turkey. These research interests are linked closely with current political manifestations and youth movements, mainly established in the religious and nationalist social milieu.

Jeffrey Champlin

Jeffrey Champlin received his PhD from New York University and has taught at NYU, Middlebury, and Bard's campuses in New York, Berlin, and Palestine. His teaching and research focuses on connections between literature, writing, the fine arts, philosophy, and political theory. Jeffrey's book, The Making of a Terrorist: On Classic German Rogues, turns to Goethe, Schiller, and Kleist for surprising responses to political violence from voices on the margins of society. His current project, Romantic Revivalism, traces the epistemological and political effects of imagined acts of rebirth in Pietism, German Idealism, Romantic literature, and Hannah Arendt's philosophy of natality. He also teaches in Bard's Language and Thinking Program and at the Barenboim-Said Academy.

Gale Raj-Reichert

Gale Raj-Reichert holds a PhD in development studies from the University of Manchester Global Development Institute (2012). Her research is on labor governance in global production networks with a focus on the global electronics industry and outsourced manufacturing in the Asia Pacific region. Gale’s research aims to understand how networked relationships and power asymmetries across different actors, such as governments, firms, and civil society organizations, shape and influence processes and outcomes for workers in outsourced factories of globalized industries.

Gale held previous faculty positions at the University of Manchester and Queen Mary University of London. She has been the recipient of research grants from the British Academy and is currently a Principal Investigator of a research project (on socially responsible public procurement in the European Union and its impacts on labor governance in the electronics industry global production network), which is funded by the German Research Fund. Gale is an Editor in Chief at the journal Competition and Change. In 2019, she co-edited the Handbook on Global Value Chains (Edward Elgar).

Israel Waichman

Prof. Dr. Israel Waichman holds a PhD in Economics (Dr. sc. pol., 2009) from the University of Kiel. While engaged in his PhD studies, he also completed the advanced study program in International Economics Policy Research at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. He also attained a European Master in Law and Economics (2004) and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Haifa, Israel. Prior to his appointment at Bard College Berlin, Israel Waichman was an assistant professor for Environmental and Resource Economics at the (Alfred-Weber-Institute) University of Heidelberg.

Prof. Dr. Waichman is a behavioral economist who is using controlled experiments to study issues mainly related to environmental economics and sustainability. In particular, his research focuses on institutions that could potentially overcome collective-action problems (such as avoiding the tragedy of the commons and preventing climate change) and also on experimental investigations of environmental policy instruments (e.g., testing different emission permit trading schemes). Prof. Dr. Waichman’s research was published in internationally renowned journals among them Nature Communications, European Economic Review, Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Experimental Economics, Economics Letters, Economic Inquiry, Journal of Economic Psychology, and Environmental & Resource Economics.

Finally, Prof. Dr. Waichman is also interested in the practical implementation of behavioral and experimental methods. He was the academic advisor to a European Commission project using behavioral experiment to investigate the merits of geographical indication regulation. He is also among the founding members of SINE, a berlin-based Think and Do Tank offering solutions for data sharing dilemmas.

Michael Weinman

Michael Weinman is Professor of Philosophy at Bard College Berlin since 2013, after originally arriving as a Guest Professor in 2010. He is the author or editor of five books, most recently, Plato and the Moving Image (Brill, 2019), co-edited with Shai Biderman of Tel Aviv University. In 2018, he published The Parthenon and Liberal Education in the SUNY Series in Ancient Greek Philosophy from SUNY Press, an investigation of the Parthenon as an education in the liberal arts co-authored with Bard College Berlin faculty member Geoff Lehman. His earlier books address the role of pleasure in Aristotle's ethical thought and the relevance of Virginia Woolf's experimentation with narrative for debates about subjectivity in continental philosophy, respectively.

Michael also has published articles and book chapters on Ancient Greek science, especially mathematics, and its reception in 20th-century German philosophy and on themes in contemporary political philosophy. His current recent interests focus on Arendt’s heterodox understanding of power and political violence for contemporary debates about populism and the challenges facing the liberal international order today and on the changing perception of the entwinement of mind and world in nature writing and narrative fiction from Goethe through Woolf.
