Life

Ferdinand Sutterlüty first studied Catholic theology at the University of Innsbruck , then sociology at the University of Konstanz and the Free University of Berlin . From 2001 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Social Researchin Frankfurt am Main; his other academic positions took him to Giessen and Paderborn. Since 2012 he has held the professorship with a focus on family and youth sociology in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Goethe University Frankfurt. Furthermore, Sutterlüty has been co-editor of the interdisciplinary magazine “WestEnd. New Journal for Social Research “; since 2007 he has also been a member of the staff at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt. He carried out research stays at the Canadian Center for German and European Studies at the Université de Montréal (2011) and at the Center for Research on Families and Relationships, University of Edinburgh (2015-2016).

Sutterlüty made a name for himself in social science research with an empirical study of "violent careers" among young people. In this study, which was also widely recognized by the general public and based on interviews with young intensive and repeat offenders, he developed new concepts for research on violence; Among other things, he coined the terms "violent interpretation regimes", "epiphany experience of violence" and "intrinsic motives for violence". After this monograph, Sutterlüty published numerous articles on violence research and a volume with Rolf Haubl on the fascination of evil.

In the context of a research project on "Negative Classifications" that he carried out together with Sighard Neckel, several publications were created on derogatory interethnic attributions and their consequences for the social integration of the population groups involved. Sutterlüty's monograph “In Sippenhaft” explains, among other things, the paradox that the long-time residents in former workers' quarters stigmatize the climbers among their neighbors of Turkish descent, even though they have made the norm of ethnic equality their own. In the context of this study, the volume "Adventure Field Research", published jointly with Peter Imbusch, was created, in which social scientists present their findings from various areas of society through experience and narrative.

His work in the sociology of religion is currently focused on the ethnographic study "Religious Anti-Capitalism?", Which he is carrying out together with his colleague Claudia Willms.

In recent years, Sutterlüty has increasingly turned to family, socialization and childhood research. He is currently researching together with Sarah Mühlbacher in the project “Paradoxes of Child Welfare”, in which the counterproductive effects of family law and their effects on legal development are examined. A number of publications have already emerged from the thematic field of this study, including the volume “Der Streit ums Kindwohl”, edited with Sabine Flick. Together with Axel Honneth, Sutterlüty also worked programmatically on the concept of “normative paradoxes”.

Ferdinand Sutterlüty has been acting director of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research since the beginning of 2019 .
