I have been a member of our university's staff at the Department of Public Business Administration for several years and now I also support Dr. Vogeler's chair in the field of Comparative Public Administration and Policy Analysis.

In addition to my assistant duties, I am committed to a family-friendly university with my work on the compatibility of family and career at the German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer.

Johanna Kuenzler has been working as a research associate at the Chair of Comparative Public Administration and Policy Analysis at the University of Speyer since May 2022. Previously, she was employed as a research and teaching assistant at the KPM Center for Public Management at the University of Bern, where she also completed her PhD. Johanna Kuenzler's research examines the policy process, in particular the areas of agenda setting, decision making and implementation. She uses various theoretical approaches for this purpose, with a focus on the Narrative Policy Framework, which she also refines on a theoretical level. Johanna Kuenzler is also interested in other political science and public administration issues; for example, she wrote her dissertation on the topic of the reputation of public organizations. Methodologically, Johanna Kuenzler's expertise lies in qualitative approaches and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).

Johanna Kuenzler is working on the DFG-funded research project "TIER: Determinants and international variance of animal welfare policy".
