After studying translation at the TH Köln and qualifying as a concept designer, Clarissa Walter completed her master's degree in "Language and Communication" at the TU Berlin. In her master's thesis, which was funded by the Stifterverband, she focused in particular on language comprehension processes and the conception of relevance in dialogic science podcasts.
