Her work focuses on socio-economic inequality, social mobility, and perceived justice. She contributes to policy-relevant research on climate policy, basic income experiments, and pandemic impacts on households.

Bohmann’s publications span peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Socius, European Sociological Review) and policy reports. She actively participates in academic conferences, presenting on measurement invariance of personality traits and climate policy design. Media contributions include interviews on basic income impacts and animated infographics on labor market equity.

Her career includes authoring monographs on status reproduction and locus of control, as well as co-leading projects like the “Perceptions of Inequalities and Justice in Europe” initiative. Bohmann collaborates closely with institutions like the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS) on socio-economic monitoring and policy advice.
