Valentina Ausserladscheider serves as Assistant Professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Economic Sociology at the University of Vienna, with additional affiliation at the Environment and Climate Research Hub. Her academic credentials include BA, MSc, M.Phil., and PhD degrees.
Dr. Ausserladscheider's research program critically examines the relationship between far-right populism and economic policy evolution, particularly in European contexts. She has developed the theoretical framework of the 'exclusionary neoliberal state,' analyzing how far-right political movements have reshaped welfare and economic policies while maintaining market-oriented reforms. Her work traces the transformation from traditional economic neoliberalism toward economic nationalism, with special attention to post-war Austrian political economy.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent thematic development across multiple interconnected domains: the impact of far-right populism on capitalism and welfare systems, business-populism relations, climate change adaptation in tourism-dependent economies, and post-COVID economic policy trajectories. Her research demonstrates increasing scholarly influence, with several publications receiving symposium reviews and her theoretical contributions gaining recognition in the field.
At the University of Vienna, Dr. Ausserladscheider teaches graduate courses including Advanced Economic Sociology, Industrial Sociology, Topics in Economic Sociology (focusing on Social Studies of Finance), and Sociology of Organizations across multiple academic terms through 2025W, reflecting her significant role in the department's educational mission.
