In October 2019, Hendrik Theine started as a post-doc researcher at the Institute for Heterodox Economics. His dissertation “Economic Inequality and Redistribution Policies – the Conditioning Power of the Media” focused on the media coverage of economic inequality and redistribution policies (see here, here and here for published papers).

His current research interests are: critical political economy analyses in the areas of media, platform capitalism and climate change. Based on a pluralist perspective, he uses both qualitative and quantitative methods, for instance, discourse analysis, text mining and network analysis.
