Research areas:

* Transition processes in families and over the course of life
* Separation/divorce and its consequences
* Sociological analysis of family and child law
* Qualitative methods in childhood, youth and family research

"Families provide key services for the functioning of society. I use innovative qualitative research methods to research how they structure their family life in various transition phases (e.g. parenthood, separation/divorce), how they deal with challenges and how the perspectives of different family members complement each other ." (Ulrike Zartler-Griessl)
