Profile

Jan Eichhorn is a researcher interested in understanding how publics make sense of the economy and politics, and to what extent elites do or do not understand their perceptions. A special focus of Jan's work concerns the interplay between climate crisis policy and the structure of economic systems. In addition, Jan also explores how political participation of different societal groups, in particular young people, can be enhanced to improve debates on those issues. This work is largely carried out through a non-profit think tank, d|part, which Jan co-founded and is the research director of.
