I am an educational scientist and historian of education at Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg.<\/p>

My research explores how education, power, culture, and practice interact, with a particular focus on marginalized or previously overlooked histories of education in\u00a0\u201c<\/span>modernity<\/span>\u201d<\/span>, as well as forms of knowledge and theory relevant to pedagogy. From discursive and decolonial perspectives, I investigate which assumptions about the \u201cforeign\u201d or the \u201cother\u201d are embedded in bodies of knowledge and how processes of socialization and cultural self-understanding emerge. I am particularly interested in questions of difference, knowledge formation, and educational media.<\/span><\/p>

I am particularly interested in how education is shaped, mediated, and experienced in societies of modernity, and which cultural assumptions as well as social and power relations become effective in these processes. My work focuses on marginalized histories of education and transnational entanglements, for example between Germany and the Ottoman Empire or Latin America.<\/p>

A central concern of my research is the analysis of bodies of knowledge and theories with pedagogical relevance: Which assumptions about the \u201cforeign\u201d or the \u201cother\u201d are implicitly embedded? Under what conditions do processes of socialization and cultural self-understanding emerge?<\/p>

My research draws on a broad range of sources and materials\u2014from school textbooks and pedagogical writings to cultural documents\u2014and combines historical and discursive perspectives by linking historical and theoretical argumentation.<\/p>

Research areas<\/strong><\/p>

Theories and history of education:<\/strong> Power, \u201cculture,\u201d and socialization in educational processes of modernity<\/p>

Transnational, post- and decolonial histories of education:<\/strong> Histories of perception and reception; transnational educational processes (Ottoman Empire, Latin America); historiographical and methodological reflections on decolonial approaches (e.g., Enrique Dussel, An\u00edbal Quijano)<\/p>

Socialization and gender studies:<\/strong> Analysis of individual and collective processes of socialization; methodological reflections and practice-oriented developments in historical socialization research<\/p>

Education and religion:<\/strong> Interrelations between religious knowledge, belief systems, and cultural practice; dynamics of religious socialization<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
