During my bachelor’s degree in spatial planning, I gained initial insights into postcolonial perspectives. This sparked my interest in questions that go beyond the German context, particularly in the fields of infrastructure and housing. I am interested in how planning functions in different social and geographical contexts and in the role that social inequalities play in this process. In doing so, I critically engage with Western-dominated theories and concepts. Focusing on diverse lived realities is especially important to me in order to design cities in ways that meet people’s needs and everyday requirements.

As a student research assistant, I support the team in teaching and research, with a particular focus on diverse social contexts and geographical specificities.
