I'm a cultural studies researcher using methods of cultural anthropology. My current research explores amateur music ensembles in activist spaces and discourses on belonging, integration, and citizenship. During fieldwork, I have used audio, video and mapping techniques to record different types of ethnographic data and conducted qualitative social media discourse analyses. My overall research interest is understanding the role, use, and voice of performance in transnational activism on rights.

I am a senior researcher at the University of Osnabrück, Germany. My research focusses on international migration and urban developments and, more broadly, on the interrelation of materiality and sociality in late modern societies. I habilitated at the Department of Geography, University of Bremen, Germany, in 2019 (venia legendi “Humangeographie”) and obtained my PhD at Bielefeld University, Germany, in 2013. In 2017, I was a Visiting Academic at the Department of Geography at Durham University, UK. My most recent book is on the nexus of migration, materility and identity ("Migration, Materialität und Identität. Verortungen zwischen Hier und Dort", published in German in 2020, Steiner Verlag).
