Hi there, my name is Sabine Reich. I am a Postdoc in Communication at the Munich Science Communication Lab at the ​​Department of Media and Communication, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. My research spans questions of media use, representation, and effects. In my most recent projects, I look at sexism online and its impact on the gender gap in political engagement and action, media as coping tools, and questions of information processing. I am especially interested in entertainment media’s representation of social reality and have a thing for music’s role in identity building. I am starting to look at scientists in the media and their role in climate change and political action in the future in more detail.

I employ experimental designs and surveys in most of my work, and am interested in repeated measures, qualitative approaches, as well as content analysis. I am an advocate of open science practices in my research and my teaching. I teach in all my research areas and at all levels and am certified in higher-education teaching.
