Annually, TU Dortmund University recognises outstanding dissertations. This year’s recipient from the Department of Social Sciences is Philipp Kadelke. His dissertation has made a valuable contribution to the field of sociology, combining housing and inequality research (titled “Mietwohnung oder Eigenheim? Theoretische und empirische Annäherungen an den Wohneigentumsstatus als vergessene Ungleichheitsdeterminante“ [Rental apartment or detached house? A sociology of the tenure status]). The award was presented during this year's TU Dortmund University's academic celebration in 2025.
