John does research in social policy and (international) political sociology. He is particularly interested in the role of international organizations in (global) social policy, social policy in the Global South, and the role of knowledge and ideas in policy-making, which includes drawing on science & technology studies as well as interpretive policy analysis. At present, he focuses on a project that investigates anticipatory practices and the role of future horizons in policy-making at the transnational level. John Berten is a post-doctoral researcher at the working group of Prof. Alexandra Kaasch at Bielefeld University. He finished his PhD studies at the University of Bremen in 2020; his thesis is titled "Laboratories of social knowledge: How international organizations constructed social policy through numbers, 1919-2015". He studied social sciences (BA) and sociology (MA) at Bielefeld University. During his studies, he was part of the DFG-funded research group FLOOR, which investigated the spread of social cash transfers in the Global South (principal investigator: Professor Lutz Leisering). He received a PhD fellowship of the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS; a joint doctoral school of the University of Bremen and Jacobs University). During his doctoral studies, he was a visiting scholar at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, and at ACTORE, Antwerp University (Antwerp Consortium on the Organization of Rulemaking and Multi-level Governance in Europe). Before joining his current postdoctoral position at Bielefeld University, John worked as a research officer at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.
