Julia Kathy Grob – Sports Education and Didactics

My name is Julia Kathy Grob and I am currently writing my PhD in the field of sports education and didactics on the topic of young people’s interest in sport. I am involved in the doctoral student representation in order to address current problems and needs of doctoral students and thus work together with the other representatives on the further development of a doctoral situation that is as pleasant and appealing as possible. My main function in the doctoral student representation is to participate in the Senate as an advisory member and to represent our interests in the monthly meetings.

Luisa Heyn – Sports Education and Didactics

My name is Luisa Heyn, and I have been working as a doctoral student and research assistant at Faculty 02 in the Institute of Sports Science since August 2023, more specifically in the Sports Education and Didactics department. In this position, I am part of an exciting project that deals with the development of concepts for further training and teaching guidance concepts. Our focus is on how digital items can be effectively integrated into physical education lessons, particularly in the area of dance.

Parallel to my work in this project, I am also working on my doctoral dissertation. My research interest lies in the influence of aesthetic-cultural dance education on the self-esteem and body image of people with body image disorders such as obesity and anorexia.

As a member of the doctoral candidate representation, I strive to actively advocate for the interests of my fellow doctoral candidates. In particular, I would like to make it easier for new doctoral candidates to start their doctorate and provide them with the best possible support.
