Georg Kanitsar is a Senior Researcher at IHS since February 2023 and part of the research group Social Cohesion and Polarization. He holds a PhD in Sociology (2018) and a MSc in Economics (2013), both from the University of Vienna. Before joining IHS, he was an Assistant Professor at the Vienna University of Economics and Business and a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Vienna.
His current research focuses on the interplay between educational and social mobility patterns among children of immigrants and, on the other hand, the discrimination and attitudes of the native-born population. This focus is embedded in a broader interest in social stratification, migration, and social trust. Georg has expertise in analyzing survey and administrative data, as well as conducting lab, field, and online experiments.
