Monika Palmberger is a Hertha Firnberg Research Fellow at the University of Vienna, Austria, and Visiting Professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium.

“Palmberger applies methodological creativity to capture people’s narratives on contentious and sensitive topics, while striving to avoid exposure to bias … The result is a robust example of a well-executed qualitative multimethod study.” (Tamara Trošt, Südosteuropa, Vol. 67 (1), March, 2019)
