Short Biography

Susanne Binder was born in 1967 and studied Cultural and Social Anthropology and European Ethnology in Vienna, Utrecht and Amsterdam. In 1998, Susanne Binder completed her master's degree in Intercultural Education and Refugee Studies based on research in a bicultural and bilingual kindergarten named „Schmetterling-Leptir". For her phD, she focused on the practice of intercultural learning at schools in Austria and the Netherlands. Since 1999, she works as a lecturer at the Institute for Cultural and Social Anthropology, University of Vienna, and since 2011 also at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten for Social Work. Her research and work interests are in the areas of flight and migration, especially in school context. In 2010 she implemented the project "Intercultural Mentoring for Schools", which she has been leading since. Other areas of work are projects in the school sector: she offers teacher training or workshops at schools on intercultural topics as well as on cultural diversity in the classroom. Since 2015, she has also been involved in the Kinderuni Wien with the workshop "What is actually migration?".
