Background

My doctoral project explores the ethnographic articulations of and claims to justice, responsibility, and rights within the contested field of anti-colonial and anti-racist Palestine solidarity activism in Germany. Key questions that inspire my research revolve around the construction of memory politics, race, white Germanness, as well as the politics of speech, judgment, and space. I am currently conducting fieldwork in and around Berlin.
