I am thrilled to be joining KWI Essen as an international fellow in October 2022. The Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) Essen, Germany, is an interdisciplinary research centre. The reflection of cultural studies is at the center of its work: What can it mean today to do cultural studies between disciplinarily and interdisciplinarily organized knowledge formations? What expectations and requirements regarding relevance and sense-making are they confronted with? How are their forms of criticism and comment defined; their routines of reading and writing, showing, telling and arguing?

It is a treat to be in such inspiring and accomplished company. Read more about the fifth cohort of KWI international fellows here.
