profile
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Theory at the Institute of Political Science of the University of Giessen in Giessen, Germany. I am also a Research Fellow of the Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies (ACGS) at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Together with Regina Kreide at the University of Giessen, I am currently coordinating a research project (2014-17) on Roma minority formation in modern European history which is part of the research program Dynamics of Security: Forms of Securitization in Historical Perspective, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
I was trained as a mathematician and philosopher at the University of Amsterdam. After I worked several years as a freelance journalist for Dutch newspapers and magazines, I returned to the academy. In 2011 I finished my PhD project, titled The European Roma: Minority Representation, Memory and the Limits of Transnational Governmentality as part of the research project Globalization and the Transformation of Cultural Identities in East Central Europe. This project was funded by the Dutch Research Foundation (NWO) in its research program Transformations in Art and Culture (2003-2011).
After I finished my PhD project at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA), I first lectured for a short time at the Department of Philosophy and then became an Assistant Professor of European Studies at the University of Amsterdam (2012-14). I have taught BA, MA and research MA courses on European integration, on migration, minority, development, security and border policies of the European Union, on governmentality, biopolitics, power and agency in Foucauldian political philosophy, and on the histories, cultures, minorities and post-communist transitions of Central and Eastern Europe.
