Dorothea Elena Schoppek works as a research associate in the 'International Relations' research group of Prof. Dr. Markus Lederer. She researches social and political conflicts of transformation and wrote her doctoral thesis on the possibilities and limits of “transformative agency” for social ecological agrarian change.
Her dissertation was awarded the Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement 2024 by the Friends of TU Darmstadt and was nominated for the German Study Prize 2024 in the social sciences section of the Körber Foundation.
In addition to her focus on environmental policy, she is interested in the role of law in transformative processes and in questions of the philosophy of science.

“I won’t do it under 1,000 km”. For social ecological reasons, I signed a voluntary commitment. For all distances below 1000 km I will refrain from travelling by plane. Let us scientists set an example for climate protection.
