Daniel Niesta Kayser

My research and teaching focuses on the experience of threats and cultural identity, flight and migration, civil courage and teacher training. With my colleagues at the university and in schools in Berlin and Brandenburg, I work in research-practice transfer. The need for inclusion and the emotional and social development of students with different resources have accompanied me since I was a 16-year-old intern at a Bavarian school with special needs. What I like about user-inspired basic research is that research results are made more usable and, for example, are transferred from school practice to scientific research and back to teacher development. For my studies I use data sources from scientific school monitoring platforms as well as data from my own empirical surveys with quantitative and qualitative research designs. This should provide a solid data basis for the socio-structural contexts and problems of children, their needs should be understandable and the successful handling of the needs should be trained. As a lecturer and trainer, you are welcome to contact me (see contact). In my free time, I am responsible for the 'good practice' section in the social psychology specialist network for flight and integration of the German Society for Psychology.
