Annette Schnabel

Annette Schnabel is a Professor in the Department of Sociology I at the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Her work bridges religion, gender studies, social movements, and European sociological analysis, often addressing intersections between national identity, antifeminism, and interspecies relationships.

Her recent publications focus on 21st-century societal dynamics, including the role of animals in modernity, pandemic-induced religious shifts, and boundaries of solidarity in welfare states. She co-edited the Religion in Context handbook, a foundational text for interdisciplinary religious analysis.

As a leading voice in gender and religious sociological debates, Schnabel has contributed to journals like Animal Studies and Austrian Journal of Sociology. While her editorial roles in journals such as Journal of Religion, Society and Politics show her organizational influence, no explicit awards or advisees are documented in available records.
