Hi, I’m Dennis Krämer, a sociologist

at the University of Münster in Germany. My research focuses on the social experiences and life situations of gender-diverse people, particulary in sports, as well as the role of technology in crises. I’m a member of an interdisciplinary committee addressing the sensitive issue of medical treatment of intersex/DSD children and founder of the DFG-funded German-Japanese research collaboration “Resilient Healthcare in Times of Multiple Crisis” (RE-CARE).
