I am interested in unequal power relationships, their structural implementation in societies and the experiences and strategies of the marginalised. In particular I work on racism and gender/heteronormativity. Most of my empirical work is conducted among people marked as South Asians in Germany.
I like challenges, enjoy solving problems, prefer an analytical approach, look for connections between theory and practical expperiences, apply innovative methods and approaches. I love to work with people and in a team, as a researcher I am, however, also used to work on my own.
I like to broaden my horizon, to rethink my approaches and to try new things. The straigth way is seldom the most appealing to me.
