I am particularly in­terested in political violence in con­texts of extreme social inequality.

Political violence in (post-) conflict settings and the pro­cessing of past violence in the fields of collective memory and transitional justice are at the center of my re­search at TraCe. I am particularly interest­ed in political violence in contexts of extreme social in­equality. I study forms and trans­formations of political violence especially in the context of socio-ecological con­flict dynamics related to resource ex­ploitation and the turn­around in energy policy.
