Summary
I graduated from the EU-funded European Master of Global Studies programme in September 2021 with a focus on global processes of spatialization, nation-building and narrative ideologies.
Since then I helped produce a variety of development research literature, with a focus on labor market policies, their effects on poverty and collective organization, and multi-dimensional inequality reduction.
I have developed a broad range of skills in data acquisition, organization and analysis, manuscript editing and reference management, as well as first insights into event management, teaching assistance, content creation and website management. The range of my academic work has spanned development studies, tourism studies, social protection, American studies and security studies.
Aside from academic work I am interested in and an active proponent of free and open software production and creating the conditions for an open and barrier-free science production.
