As a Research Associate at the Chair of Urban Studies, she centers her work on decolonization efforts within the domains of local development, social work, community-oriented initiatives, and sustainable and cooperative agriculture in Africa. In addition, forms of collaboration with the Global North are analyzed against the backdrop of historically grown financial asymmetries as a colonial heritage. Her research aims to illuminate organizational and societal levels, processes, and structures, with the goal of investigating how local actors understand moments of empowerment and negotiate ideas of independence and self-efficacy in a postcolonial setting.
