You find more details in the CV.

I am currently working as researcher at the Institut für interdisziplinäre Konflikt- und Gewaltforschung (IKG) at Bielefeld University, Germany. During the summer term 2021, I held the Marsilius-Vertretungsprofessur für Humangeographie Nordamerikas und Stadtgeographie (interim professorship on human geography of North America and urban geography) at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. My research focusses on international migration and urban developments and, more broadly, on the interrelation of materiality and sociality in postmodern 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 Migration, Materialität und Identität (Steiner 2020), a monograph on international migrants’ ways of living at and between places.
