Curriculum

I am a visual and media anthropologist interested in outer space research, mobility and migration, media practices, rhythm, practice theory, and post-/decolonial theory and practice. Before joining Leuphana University, I was research associate at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at University of Cologne and postdoc in the CRC Future Rural Africa in a project on "Testing Future", for which I did research on future-making, migration, lateral work practices, materialities and ruinations in Kenya. I received my PhD from the University of Siegen, "Locating Media", with a project on the mobility and media practices of touring musicians.

Teaching

At Leuphana, I focus on teaching ethnographic, audiovisual and multimodal methods. Formerly, I have taught on topics such as visual, digital and media Anthropology, postcolonial theory, film practice, ethnographic methods, textual analysis, transculturality and regional seminars on both B.A. and M.A. level in Berlin, Bremen, Amsterdam and Cologne.
