Eva-Maria Schultze

Dr. Eva-Maria Schultze is a Researcher at the Institute of Sociology, Faculty of Philosophy I, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. She has held academic positions at this institution since 2015, currently serving as a Research Assistant at the Chair of General Sociology with a focus on Sociological Theory. Since November 2019, she has contributed to the DFG-funded project "Translation in Nanomedicine" led by Prof. Dr. Christian Papilloud. Her prior roles include research collaborations at Université Paris 13 and the Center for Social Research Halle.

Education:

• Master of Arts in Sociology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (2015)
• Bachelor of Arts in History, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (2012)

Her research explores relational sociological theories, examining how social connections shape phenomena across art, science, and knowledge systems. She specializes in qualitative methodologies with emphasis on semi-automated textometric analysis, applying critical theoretical frameworks to contemporary social structures.

Publications (2017-2023) demonstrate consistent focus on relational sociology and its interdisciplinary applications. Works co-authored with Christian Papilloud develop theoretical models of social relations while examining empirical domains like nanomedicine translation and digital art. Recent books analyze reciprocity in social capital (Coleman/Bourdieu) and relational theory frameworks.

She participates in the German Research Foundation (DFG) grant project "Translation in Nanomedicine" and has collaborated internationally with institutions including Université Paris 13 and the LABEX ICCA research laboratory in France.
