Prof. Frank Reichert is a DAAD/AGI Research Fellow in Fall 2024.
Frank Reichert is a professor at the University of Hong Kong and affiliated with the Center for Inclusive Citizenship at the Leibniz University of Hannover in Germany. He has previously worked at universities and research institutions in Germany and Australia and held several prestigious fellowships, including a Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship from the U.S. National Academy of Education. He currently co-chairs the Standing Group on Citizenship of the European Consortium for Political Research. As an international expert, he also contributes to the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2027 of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA).
Prof. Reichert has published widely on civic education and citizenship norms, digital citizenship, and youth civic development. His research often examines multilevel data through advanced statistical techniques or mixed-methods approaches. Some of his contributions include harnessing underexplored large-scale data and pioneering person-centered statistical techniques in the field of civics and citizenship. He also co-developed a comprehensive digital competence assessment instrument and was commissioned by UNESCO to prepare a background report for the 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report. Furthermore, he has received various competitive awards for research excellence and knowledge exchange.
At AGI, he will expand his work on youth civic development through the comparative analysis of representative large-scale data from adolescents and adults in Germany and the United States. This research aims to further our understanding of the current state of democracy in both countries by illuminating the precursors of populist sentiment and anti-democratic attitudes in adolescence. This work can help contribute insights for generating solutions to the multiple crises of democracies and anticipating future challenges to democracy.
