Inga Effert

Dr. Inga Effert serves as an Academic Councillor at the Department of Protestant Theology within the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies at the University of Wuppertal, a position she has held since April 2017. Her work focuses on religious education didactics for primary schools, with office hours coordinated through the university's Moodle platform in room O.10.04.

Her academic background includes:

• Born 1985 in Lüdenscheid
• 2005-2011: Protestant Religious Education and German Studies at University of Paderborn
• 2011: First State Examination for Teaching
• 2011-2015: Doctoral studies at University of Paderborn
• April 2015: Doctorate on 'Religion – Inclusion – Values'
• 2014-2016: Traineeship in Protestant Religious Education
• May 2016: Second State Examination for Primary School Teaching

Dr. Effert's research centers on inclusion strategies in religious education, value-based pedagogy, and burnout prevention within theological frameworks. She develops practical materials bridging biblical narratives with contemporary educational challenges, particularly for primary school contexts. Her scholarship examines how Protestant confession-based schools implement inclusion through value anchoring in school culture.

Analysis of her 13 publications (2015-2021) reveals consistent focus on inclusive religious education, with evolving emphasis from structural school policies (2015) to practical classroom resources (2017-2019) and interdisciplinary theological explorations (2021 music study). The work demonstrates strong integration of empirical school analysis with creative pedagogical development, particularly through the 'RU für morgen' series.

Dr. Effert maintains active scholarly engagement through co-authored teaching materials with Gunther vom Stein and digital content including YouTube theological discussions. Her consultation services operate through university digital platforms with individually arranged appointments.
