Svenja Bluhm, M. A., is an academic assistant at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, actively involved in the P³Dual project (2023–2026) while collaborating with FamilienANlauf e. V. in Berlin-Lichtenberg. She is pursuing her doctorate on relational child protection, focusing on children's roles in socio-educational support systems within child and youth welfare.

• Education: Bachelor's in Educational Science and Sociology (Osnabrück), Master's in Educational Science (Freie Universität Berlin)
• Current Research: Ethnographic study of relational approaches in child protection
• Past Projects: ForuM network (2021–2024) on sexualized violence in Protestant Church institutions

Her research interests center on relational practices in social work, child protection mechanisms, and qualitative methodologies. Recent work examines systemic conditions of violence in educational and church organizations, with a focus on empirical theory development for practice improvement.

Bluhm's publications address organizational silence around sexualized violence, systemic conditions in institutions, and historical analyses of violent constellations in Protestant school hostels. She employs qualitative research methods to bridge theoretical frameworks with practical applications in child welfare settings.
