Between 2007 and 2009 Kinnebrock was a professor at the University of Vienna for communication studies with a focus on journalism research. In 2009 she moved to RWTH Aachen University as a university professor for communication theory . Since 2012 she has been working as a university professor for communication studies, with a focus on public communication, at the University of Augsburg .

Focus of their research

Her focal points include narrative journalism , public, journalism and media change (from the 19th century to the new convergent and mobile media) and transnational European communication history. A central theme of her work is gender studies in communication studies . Kinnebrock is currently working more and more on health and science communication issues.

Special commitment

In 2007, Kinnebrock founded the youth forum for communication history (called Nakoge). This is an initiative of the DGPuK , which is intended to be an open platform for young researchers and graduates who deal with communication and media history. In her dissertation, a biography of Anita Augspurg, a women's rights activist who drew attention to topics such as the education of girls and women's rights through skillful public relations, Kinnebrock dealt, among other things, with the possibilities of women to exert political influence.

From 2006 to 2012 she acted as spokeswoman for the DGPuK section on communication history. From 2010 to 2014 she was both a mentor and a metareviewer at the DGPuK.

Together with Klaus Arnold and Paschal Preston, Kinnebrock is co-founder of the Communication History Section of the ECREA (European Communication Research and Education Association). The section aims to bring together researchers from different European countries who research communication from a historical perspective. From 2009 to 2012 she worked there as deputy management and from 2012 to 2016 as management.

Since 2012 she has been the scientific director of the Archive of the German Women's Movement Foundation . The foundation conducts its own research and encourages work in the field of women's and gender history in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Completed research projects

From 2003 to 2006 Kinnebrock examined political women's magazines from 1725 to 1933 as well as political women's magazines and their publics . The project was funded by the university and science program of the federal state commission for educational planning and research funding.

In 2007 she researched journalism as a women's profession in 1900 . This BMBF- funded study provides an overview of the professional field of journalism for women at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. For this purpose, the Lexicon Women of the Pen , which contains around 1500 portraits of then active, German-speaking authors, is evaluated.

Science and society in dialogue? PR 2.0 in higher education was Susanne Kinnebrock's research project from 2010 to 2011. This is a cooperation project between Kinnebrock with the Press and Public Relations Department of RWTH Aachen University and with RWTH external.

From 2008 to 2012 she researched gender constructions in German, Austrian and Swiss daily newspapers. This was also a collaborative effort, this time with the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Her last completed project dealt with public relations processes and media production in the digital age (2010–2016). It took place in cooperation with the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, the Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona / Spain, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen / Netherlands and the University of Salzburg. Susanne Kinnebrock is currently working on gender-specific topics in health communication, past discourses on welfare and care work as well as on producing evidence in science communication.

reception

“There are books that should have been written long ago - books that one has been waiting for a long time. The dissertation by communication scientist Susanne Kinnebrock on the life and work of Anita Augspurg is such a book. "

- Christiane Leidinger : Lespress

“More than 60 years later, Kinnebrock has now presented a biography that not only does justice to Augspurg's strengths and weaknesses, but also undoubtedly represents a milestone in research on the radical wing of the bourgeois women's movement around and after 1900. As far as the life and work of Augspurg is concerned, Kinnebrock may even have presented a standard work of which it can already be said that it will remain unsurpassed for the foreseeable future. "
