Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie - Prof. Dr. Katharina Schramm
Our research, pedagogy and engagement focus on the empirical inquiries and sharing of knowledge produced through critical analyses of categories of differences and their political implications. We investigate how dynamics of knowledge production and communication relate to questions of (in)equality and processes of inclusion and exclusion. Social movements, migration and border regimes, biosocial and economic justice, forms of racialization, and (trans)national politics of belonging count among our diversified empirical fields
Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie mit Fokus Afrika
Prof. Dr. Sandra Calkins
In this research field, we analyze contemporary economic-ecological fault lines with a special focus on African contexts, because these bring central political and moral questions of our time into sharp relief. We investigate how knowledges about the environment and the economy emerge, circulate, contradict themselves, are contested, politicized and shape the futures of health and wellbeing for human and more-than-human lives. In the light of historical inequalities and the geopolitical dominance of Western knowledge systems, our approach to knowledge-making is deliberately broad and attuned to building resources, collaboratively with scholars from the continent, to expand societal horizons of imagination beyond narrow ambitions of economic growth.
Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie mit Fokus Soziale Zugehörigkeiten JP Dr. Melina C. Kalfelis
My research and teaching are situated at the intersection of social, political, and visual anthropology, and I specialize in phenomenological approaches. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in West Africa and Western Europe, I am currently building a chair that investigates ordinary lifeworlds and practices of violence, crime, and belonging in contexts shaped by histories of global inequality. I am particularly interested in questions on ethics, governance, media, gender, and dynamics of (dis)trust in conflict settings and how these transgress and link intimate, political, and transnational domains of everyday life.
