Prof. Dr. Ulrike Krause
(Faculty of Education and Social Sciences)

Ulrike Krause has been Professor of Political Science with a Focus on Constitution and Politics of Gender Relations at the Institute of Political Science since August 2024. After studying history as well as peace and conflict studies at the universities of Mannheim, Southampton, and Magdeburg, she earned her doctorate in political science at the University of Magdeburg in 2012. Initially, she worked in the fields of gender mainstreaming, refugee protection, and human rights for international humanitarian organizations such as UNICEF, GIZ, and World Vision and lived in Uganda for three years. She then was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Marburg and held professorships at Ruhr University Bochum, Osnabrück University and FH Münster, before joining the University of Münster. Since 2017, she has also been affiliated with the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford.

Her research and teaching concentrates on gender relations in the context of displacement, conflict, violence, and humanitarianism, with a regional focus on East Africa and global developments. She examines the role of gender in postcolonial power relations and investigates processes of exclusion and “Othering”. Furthermore, the political scientist analyzes how gender-based violence persists during conflict-induced displacement and is linked to humanitarian policies, as well as which specific dangers LGBTQ+ refugees face. Linked to this, she explores how displaced people cope with the dangers and restrictions, negotiate gender norms, claim protection and rights, self-organize
