About me

I am a researcher in sustainability and mobility transitions with a focus on social justice, gender equality, discourse studies and policymaking. My work explores the social and political dynamics of contested policies as well as the role of narratives and power in transformation processes. I currently lead the research project Saarmila (Saarland Mobility Lab), investigating inclusive, co-creative approaches to everyday mobility change. Drawing on a background in social-ecological research and discourse theory, I work at the intersection of science, practice, and policy to foster democratic and trust-based urban transitions.
