In her research Nicki explores the narratives of right-wing women, who join and actively support right-wing-parties in Germany and Austria. She is interested in exploring why women might support these parties, and their thoughts on issues of women's rights and equality issues in particular. What tensions are there between actively supporting a right-wing party and being a woman?
Nicki is part of the editorial team of the CWS student-led journal Cultivate. For the last two years, she also helped to organise the CWS "Sisterhood in Action Conference". During the conference in February 2021, she presented the paper: “Women are Women”: Right-Wing Women’s (Essentialist) Conceptualisation of Sex/Gender in Germany and Austria.
Nicki is teaching in Sociology (1st year undergrad module: Cultivating a Sociological Imagination).
