I am a social and political geographer with an interest in (urban) geographies of migration, (local) negotiations of asylum, border regimes, and social movements.
I am a member of the working group Social Geography, the Institute of Migration Studies ( IMIS), and the Sonderforschungsbereich 1604 “The Production of migration”.
I am currently working in the project “the production of urban spaces of migration through municipalities and research” as part of the SFB 1604 and I coordinate the space-related projects within the SFB.
Since 2017, I have been co-coordinating the Double Degree programme “European Master in Migration Studies” ( EuMIGS) between the Osnabrück’s Master in International Migration and Intercultural Relations and six other European Master programmes in Migration.
I have taught various courses on migration, bordering, (solidary) cities and qualitative research, since 2013.
In my PhD project I studied local responses to and consequences of asylum migration. I analyzed in particular urban negotiations over the reception and accommodation of refugees, deportations, and integration politics. I completed the dissertation entitled "The Politics of Presence in Asylum: Negotiating the Inclusion:exclusion of refugees" in 2021 at the University of Osnabrück.
