Research
Dr Antje Glück shares a wide range of experience in having worked in international research projects around media coverage and media discourses, journalism, and political communication.
She was recently awarded two grants: 1) The DFG/AHRC grant "VOICES" around postindustrial societies in East Germany and North East England and 2) a British Academy Small Grant exploring the life of Weimar Republic investigative German journalist Carl von Ossietzky, who had to courage to stay with the ascendance of an increasingly authoritarian 3rd Reich and the Nazis. Further research projects centred on exploring how solutions journalism can be integrated successfully into UK local newsrooms; and how mainstream news media across Global South and North countries represent terrorism and emotions (University of Leipzig, Free University Berlin).
Part of her research career, Antje was also a member of the International Center for Violence Research in Bielefeld (Germany), engaging in capacity building in Global South countries (e.g., Egypt, El Salvador); and contributed to the cross-national EU project Media, Conflict and Democratization (MeCoDEM) based at the University of Leeds.
Her PhD thesis examined the role of emotions in journalistic work practices and deontology with Indian and UK news TV broadcasters.
Before joining the UoL, she worked at Teesside University and in Bournemouth.
