Her work focuses on educational inequalities, intergenerational mobility, family dynamics, and quantitative methods.
Education: She holds a PhD in Sociology from Tallinn University (2013), complemented by MA (2008) and BA (2006) degrees from the same institution. Her doctoral research examined ethnic inequalities in post-Soviet education and labor markets.
Research: Lindemann explores how societal contexts influence educational trajectories, particularly through family instability, parental unemployment, and policy interventions.
