As a sociologist and political scientist, I have been researching and teaching for many years on topics including bio/necropolitics, stratified reproductive relations, transnational statehood, intersectional feminist theory, family and migration policies, as well as extractivism and global production chains. In various research projects, I have examined the interrelations between population and bodily politics, focusing on human genetics, racism, dis/reproductive technologies, and demographic crisis narratives. I studied and obtained my PhD in political science at Freie Universität Berlin. Later, I worked as a lecturer, researcher, and interim professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, specialising in biotechnology, nature, and society, where I subsequently completed my habilitation in sociology and continue to teach as a private lecturer. Further teaching engagements have taken me to Vienna, Graz, Erfurt, and Berlin. For many years, I have also been active in feminist and anti-racist networks in Berlin, including the Gen-ethisches Netzwerk e.V.
