About
I am studying towards my PhD in History at Princeton University. Trained as an historian of Africa, my research interests lie in south-central Africa, labor history, migration, ethnicity, oral history and world history.
My dissertation project will examine the lives of Mozambican, Angolan, and Namibian migrants to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the latter half of the twentieth century. I am interested in questions of social relations of labor, education, migration, gender and life history.
I hold an MSc in African Studies from the University of Oxford. My master’s thesis focused on land rights amongst the ‡Khomani and Hai||om San groups in South Africa and Namibia, exploring the intersections of identity, representation and land. I graduated from Mount Holyoke College, MA, USA, in International Relations and African Studies in 2009.
A native of Germany, I have lived in South Africa and have conducted fieldwork in the Northern Cape, the Kalahari, Namibia, Mozambique and Angola. I have also complemented my academic experience with Internships at the International Labor Organization, Geneva, the South African Government, Department of Social Services & Poverty Alleviation, and various NGOs.
