Elisa Deiss-Helbig is an independent Research Fellow at the Zukunftskolleg and currently serving as Acting Professor of "German Politics" at the University of Konstanz, substituting for Christina Zuber. She is also an associated researcher at the Cluster 'Politics of Inequality'.
- Education: PhD in Political Science from the University of Stuttgart (2018)
- Prior affiliations: Émile Durkheim Center (Sciences Po Bordeaux), Institute for Social Sciences (University of Stuttgart)
Her research focuses on political parties and representation, particularly how marginalized groups (e.g., immigrant-origin citizens, asylum seekers) are represented substantively and descriptively. Key themes include electoral promises, policy implementation, and voter responses to group-targeted appeals.
The articles highlight trends in Germany's political inclusion of minority groups. Topics span geospatial proximity to asylum-seeker centers, candidate selection mechanisms, and structural barriers to immigrant-origin representation in politics.
She has led DFG-funded research projects with colleagues from Sciences Po and the University of Trier. Teaching experience includes courses at the University of Konstanz, University of Stuttgart, Sciences Po Bordeaux, and Sciences Po Nancy.
