Biography
Johannes Lenhard studied Economics and Management at Zeppelin University in Germany, before his MSc in Sociology at the London School of Economics and his MPhil and PhD in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. Since coming to London, his research has focused on various aspects of homelessness, from their survival practices to homeless policy. At Max-Cam, Johannes acts both as the centre’s research coordinator and continues his own research on inequality and ethics. His postdoctoral project turns to international venture capital investors and investigates the values and ethics behind their efforts of making a better future. His first monograph ‘Making Better Lives’ on his research with people experiencing homelessness was published in 2022 and his second one based on his VC research is under contract to be published in 2024.
