Academic interests
- Science and Technology studies (STS)
- Care studies
- History of science, culture and medicine
- Human-animal studies
- Cultural studies
My research is concerned with the material and ethical infrastructures of public health medicine; the relationship between standardisation, instrumentality and care in biomedicine; multispecies biopolitics; and the cultural and scientific history of human-animal relations. Recently, I have begun to explore new modes of public health communication and the role of data infrastructures for vaccination governance in a European context.
My educational background is interdisciplinary and includes Social anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, Science of religions and Culture, Environment and Sustainability Studies. During my university studies I became particularly interested in poststructuralist and posthumanist perspectives on nature-culture and power-knowledge relations. These inspirations led me to STS and to the study of human-animal relations and the role of science, technology and politics in shaping and framing such relations. I have contributed to ongoing discussions in STS, human-animal studies and post-humanities on the biopolitics, care and ethics of human-animal relations.
I am currently coordinating the TIK methods lab. Follow this link for upcoming seminars for fall 2019: TIK Methods Lab
