2021-ongoing Universität Hamburg (UHH), Post-doc Research Associate at WONAGO – World Order Narratives of the Global South – in collaboration with GIGA German Institute for Global and Area Studies. Herein, I research the long-term cultural and global order effects of the colonial photography genre as a highly racialised stereotyping tool for colonisers with interests in sub-Saharan Africa in particular. So-called viewing or seeing traditions are analysed and how they affect (inter)racial and intersectional gender interactions up until the 21^st century. This can be seen in BLM protests, restitution debates, the toppling of colonial statues and gender debates. Click here for more (second book project).
