In his research and practice, Anton Schröpfer explores the connection between music and sociability and experiments with musical forms of sociation. In 2013, he completed his degree in sociology, with minors in social psychology and education, at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich with honors. From January 2014, he was a research assistant at the Chair of Sociology of Science and a doctoral candidate at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) at the Technical University of Munich. In August 2020, he successfully completed his doctorate on "Increasing social expectations of research. A special gaze at technical universities" successfully. Since then, he has been teaching the subject “Politics and Society” and is responsible for sociological teaching in vocational education programs (BA & MA). In 2021, he founded the company “Teach.Meet.Beat.” (TMB), a recording studio with an integrated learning environment, with which he carries out, among other things, support projects in the field of cultural education. In 2022, he initiated the volunteer project “Soundwerkstatt” to promote cultural education for children and young people. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (formerly BMBF) and the Bundesverband Popularmusik (BV Pop).
