Among other activities, she was able to gain practical experience in a planning office, where she was responsible for citizen participation processes, both in conception and implementation. During her studies she already focused on rural areas (e.g. in her diploma thesis „Land ohne Töchter*", opens an external URL in a new window). Not only does she investigate and work on the potentials and challenges of rural areas as a spatial planner, but they are directly tangible for her as a multi-local living and working person (urban and rural). Her time as a freelance journalist in a regional office has made her more aware of this. In her dissertation, she interweaves all her experiences while dealing with storytelling in planning. Her practice and research focuses are vibrant rural life, digitalisation, storytelling („Geschichten vom Land“, opens an external URL in a new window), multilocality, ideas, creativity and innovation processes for rural areas, project management, process design and qualitative research methods. Since March 2019, Isabel Stumfol has been a board member of „LandLuft“, opens an external URL in a new window (association for the promotion of building culture in rural areas).
