Research assistant | Postdoctoral researcher

I am a research assistant (post-doc since 2019) in the Human Geography working group. From 2023-2024 I was a substitute professor for tourism geography at the University of Trier. After my diploma studies in Geography, Sociology and Communication Studies, I obtained a doctorate (from.) with a doctoral degree in Cultural Geography at JGU Mainz in 2019. In my doctoral dissertation, I examined the construction and staging of intercultural encounters in cinematic New York City.

In my research and teaching, I work at the interface of social-geographical urban research, critical sustainability and transformation research, theoretically reflected tourism geography and Media Geography. I am particularly interested in the complex interactions between space, society and media contexts. My research is characterized by interdisciplinary and critically reflective perspectives.
