About

As a full professor for Macro-Sociology and Social Studies of Science at the Leibniz University of Hannover (Germany), I hold a Heisenberg-Grant on the topic “Sociology of the Sea”. Before joining my colleagues in Hannover, I was the principle investigator of the DFG-funded research project “Experiencing Nature and Society. A Multi-Sited Inquiry of Marine and Ethnographic Field Science” (2022-2025). With a PhD (2006) and a habilitation (2017) in Sociology, I have been invited and appointed at the Collège de France and the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle (MNHN) in Paris, at New York University (Institute for Public Knowledge), and served as a visiting professor at the EHESS Paris, Humboldt University Berlin, Kassel University, and Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel. My work is funded with solid grants (more than € 1,5 M.) I earned for research at the crossroads of social theory and analysis, transformation of the knowledge society, social anthropology, cultural sociology, human-environmental relations, marine social science, and social cohesion (DFG, VW, BMBF, FMSH, DAAD). With my expertise on human-environmental concerns and STS, I have been appointed to discuss “Transdisciplinary coastal research in a global context” (DFG roundtable at RIFS Potsdam), „Science and Technology Research – Potentials and new Perspectives“ (VW Foundation Hannover), “Planetary Health” (WBGU Berlin) and served as a reviewer for the German Biodiversity Assessment. In addition to the Heisenberg-project, I continue working on social cohesion and a pragmatist analysis of heterogeneous collaborations in the Anthropocene-moment.
