Since 2020, Johannes Kleinmann has been a research assistant and doctoral student at the Europa Universität Viadrina in Frankfurt Oder. Since 2021, he's also a doctoral student at the University of Vienna as part of a Cotutelle de thèse and associated Researcher at RECET. 

In his research, Johannes Kleinmann is interested in long-term (dis)continuities of Polish governments' narratives regarding gendered aspects of labour during the long period of transformation (1980-2004). He is particularly interested in the question of what continuities and differences the so-called transformation process entailed with regard to the gendering of labour.
