Oblasti odborného zájmu

My research interests span state-society relations in borderlands, governance, security and identity, human-animal relations and biosecurity. Currently I am holding a postdoc position at Aarhus University in the project Fencing the Feral - Biosecurity and the Invasive Other in the Danish-German Borderlands. I investigate how national spaces and borders are coproduced through the spatial strategies of fencing, discourses of (bio)security and the invasive other.
