* Debt Biographies: a Life History Approach to Problematic Debts
The aim of ‘debt biographies’ is to gain a detailed understanding of how people get into debt. What are the circumstances in which people accumulate debt and what kind of debts are these? How do debts impact people’s lives, feelings of self-worth and aspirations for the future? This internship is in cooperation with Dr. Jessie Pool (Faculty of Law) and connects social-scientific insights on indebtedness with legal research on debt relief and insolvency proceedings. Particular attention is paid to how legal rules, institutional procedures and communication shape indebtedness and people’s experiences of debt. The project gains insight into whether these systems realistically match people’s practical abilities under financial circumstances.
