Doctoral Dissertation Research: Political Consciousness and Young People's Life Narratives: In-Depth Profiles of Radical Right and Democratic German Men

本论文的研究将探讨德国青年政治意识的发展。九名在柏林职业学校读三年级的年轻人将接受四次面试。所有人都在前一轮面试中接受过面试。这9人代表了从激进权利到民主的一系列政治立场，并从信息技术电工、厨师和混凝土工人等各种职业项目中取样。口述历史，对工作和社会生活的观察，以及对之前采访的讨论将被用来理解为什么一些工人阶级男性采取激进的右翼政治，而另一些人则发展出民主的政治意识。

This dissertation research will investigate the development of political consciousness in German young men. Nine young men in their third year of vocational school in Berlin will be interviewed four times. All have been interviewed in a previous wave of interviews. The nine have been selected to represent a range of political positions from radical right to democratic and to sample from a variety of vocational programs, including information technology electrician, cook, and concrete worker. Oral histories, observations of work and social life, and discussions of the previous interview will be used to understand why some working-class men adopt radical right politics while others develop a democratic political consciousness.
