Regina Kreide

Prof. Dr. Regina Kreide is a Full Professor of Political Theory and History of Ideas at Justus Liebig University Giessen. She serves as Co-Director of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 'Dynamics of Security' and leads the DAAD ISAP partnership with Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia. Her research focuses on critical analyses of security mechanisms, minority rights, and democratic transformations in global contexts.

Her scholarly work engages with:

• Political and critical theory examining global justice paradigms
• Securitization dynamics affecting marginalized communities
• Democratic theory in digital and transnational spaces
• Housing justice and property relations as sites of political struggle
• AI's impact on public discourse and democratic deliberation

Kreide's publications demonstrate sustained engagement with Habermasian critical theory while addressing contemporary challenges like migration governance, algorithmic power, and housing inequality. Her recent work shows increased focus on material inequalities and technological disruptions to democratic processes.

She actively mentors doctoral candidates, having supervised 16 PhD students on topics ranging from digital activism to postcolonial democracy. As project leader for major DFG and DAAD initiatives, she coordinates international research on Roma minorities and security politics. Her team includes four researchers and administrative staff supporting the Collaborative Research Center's operations.
