Carina Hartmann studied Romance Philology and Business Economics at University of Kassel and at University of the Americas, Puebla. After that, she undertook her masters in Cultural Studies and Business Economics at the University of Mannheim with her major in entrepreneurship and international internships in Spain and Brazil.
Since April 2017 she is a research assistant at the team of self-employment and labor market and writes her dissertation on topics of diversity in immigrant entrepreneurship. Carina Hartmann is a scientific consultant and evaluator for start-up support for newcomers. Furthermore, she deals with resources and challenges of entrepreneurs with experiences of forced migration and the organizational perspective on refugee entrepreneurship. For doing so, she uses mixed methods approaches and combines large scale secondary data of former cohorts of immigrants as well as own qualitative and quantitative data collections with nascent entrepreneurs and central actors of the start-up ecosystem. She is especially interested in alternative pathways of labor market integration of refugees and the types and intensities of human capital that immigrants recall and access for the employment uptake in the country of residence.
