His research bridges political theory and science/technology studies, focusing on knowledge practices, technological developments, ecological crises, and cultural innovations. He advocates rethinking political concepts to address modern crises, emphasizing democratic renewal through frameworks like the 'democratic time-out' concept developed with André Brodocz. Current work explores populist politics' intersections with technology, ecology, and science.
Research interests include crisis governance, institutional resilience, and democratic legitimacy. Notable contributions include critiques of 'state of emergency' narratives and advocacy for adaptive democratic frameworks. Schölzel critiques anti-scientific trends and emphasizes education’s role in countering misinformation and authoritarianism. His interdisciplinary approach integrates philosophy, political ontology, and digital society studies.
Publications span democratic theory, pandemic governance, and Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory. No scientific awards are listed, but his work bridges academic and public discourse through accessible critiques of contemporary political challenges.
Advising and grants details are not explicitly provided, though his research often collaborates with institutions addressing crisis policy and democratic innovation. No specific labs or teams are mentioned, but his work aligns with TUM’s focus on interdisciplinary solutions to societal challenges.
