About

Clarissa Walter is a research associate in the research group “Reorganizing Knowledge Practices“ and a PhD student at the Berlin University of the Arts. She completed her master's degree in Cognitive Media Linguistics at the Technical University Berlin.

At the Weizenbaum Institute, Clarissa works at the intersection of science communication research and science and technology studies (STS). Her research focuses on how algorithms and AI are shaping the practices of content production in science communication. Ethnographic methods form the basis of her research, which has a strong focus on the production of audiovisual content for social media. As the linking of practice and research is a particular concern of Clarissa, she is actively involved in various transfer activities of the Weizenbaum Institute. Among other things, she is editor of the social science YouTube format ‘People and Patterns’, which is produced in cooperation with a German public broadcaster.
