The title of the award-winning dissertation is "Legal Struggles. A Historical-Materialist Legal Policy Analysis of Legal Proceedings after the Summer of Migration." In the thesis, Pichl provides a political science insight into disputes in courts against the European border regime after the Summer of Migration 2015, with a focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the acceleration of asylum procedures in Germany.

Maximilian Pichl has been filling the professorship of Political Theory since fall 2021. Previously, he completed his PhD at the same chair, supervised by Prof. Dr. Sonja Buckel. Two of his main research interests are critical legal theory and migration law.

The Antonio Gramsci Prize, awarded by the Vienna Chamber of Labor and Bielefeld University, honors work that examines migration-society relations and the associated relations of domination, thereby making a differentiated contribution to critical thinking and research. It is awarded by an interdisciplinary scientific jury and is endowed with 5,000 euros.

Pichl will receive the prize for the year 2022. The award ceremony will take place on June 23, 2023 at 6 p.m. in the library of the Vienna Chamber of Labour.
