About Me

I am a researcher whose lifework is situated at the intersections of theory and praxis, with specific interests in studying queer and affective entanglements in everyday life.

Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer  at the Elite Graduate Program "Standards of Decision-making Across Cultures", FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg where I mainly teach psychological anthropology and gender and sexuality studies. 

Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Children and Nature Working Group at the Leipzig Lab, Leipzig University (2022).

I earned a doctoral degree from Freie Universität Berlin, Germany in 2020 with a study on the affective dynamics of Muslim queer worldmaking in Indonesia. 

In addition to my academic engagements, I have been working in the field of cultural production, mainly as an artist, curator and community educator focusing on transformative potentials of self-organisation and alternative pedagogy. These interests are deeply tied to his activism within KUNCI Study Forum & Colletive, a transdisciplinary research initiative in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which since its founding in 1999 has been experimenting on modes of producing and sharing knowledge through studying together.
