Research interests

I am an Anthropologist trained in the fields of Global Health/Global Care Networks, migration and diaspora studies, anthropology of tourism, feminist social sciences, intersectionality of gender/class/race, African diaspora. I currently work as a Post Doc in social and cultural anthropology at the Centre for Public Health on community engagement and access to health for people in vulnerable situations as well as on migration and care circulation using a feminist and ethnographic framework. In my former research, I focused on African diasporic identity makings in Germany and transnational family making, international migration of healthworkers from sub-Saharan African countries and the circulation of care (public and private).

Languages: German, French, English, Spanish

Techniques, methods & infrastructure
