Teaching and Research

I have a long-standing interest in migration, ethnic relations and in feminist scholarship. My work is situated at the intersection of gender studies, migration studies and cultural studies combining insights from sociology, and political sciences with a focus on feminist research. These are reflected in my teaching where I teach courses at undergraduate, graduate and post graduate levels in gender studies (intersectionality and masculinities), ethnic relations, migration, anti-racisms and multiculturalism, qualitative methods of social research (interview techniques, biographical analysis, discourse analysis and focus groups), transnational and postcolonial identities. I have published extensively in German, English and Dutch. My articles were translated into French, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, and Polish.
