Tatjana Boczy is a research assistant at the Department of Sociology at the University of Vienna. Her research interests include comparative urban and regional research, social change and institutional transformations, political and environmental sociology, and mixed-methods research.

Tatjana explored these issues in her PhD thesis, investigating the urban and regional intricacies of local welfare systems under recent social, economic and environmental challenges such as climate change policies and the COVID-19 pandemic. Her academic contributions lie in the novel applications of mixed-method research as well as the empirical and theoretical detail of territorial social and climate justice from a sociological perspective.

In 03/2021, she started a sowi:doc Fellowship granted by the Vienna Doctoral School of Social Sciences. This competitive funding allowed her to focus on her dissertation for three years.

She obtained her PhD in January 2025 and now has a post-doc position at the University of Vienna.

She also thinks that writing about oneself in the third person is weird, but her experiences in RPG tabletop gaming helped her overcome that feeling.
