Life

Susanne Wiesinger worked as a teacher for many years before she became known to a wide audience in Austria. In 2018, her book Kulturkampf im Klassenzimmer was published, in which she identified and addressed a problem of integration and values in schools in Vienna. Its first publication received a lot of media attention. Wiesinger had previously worked as a primary school teacher and as an NMS teacher in Vienna- Favoriten and as a staff representative for the teachers' union at the Vienna City School Council. In February 2019 she was appointed ombudswoman for questions of values and cultural conflicts by the then Education Minister Heinz Faßmann . In the course of this activity she wrote her activity report for the ombudsman for questions of values and cultural conflicts. An analysis of existing challenges and practical solutions .

During this time, against the background of her work as head of the ombudsman, she wrote her second book Machtkampf in the Ministry , which deals with the influence of politics on the school system. Before the book was published in January 2020, her work as ombudswoman was terminated prematurely.
