I am currently working as a senior research associate at the Chair for Social and Cultural Anthropology with a focus on Africa at the University of Bayreuth. My focus is on the convergencies of East African urbanism, its link to globalisation, consumption and discarding of electronic and electric devices (e-waste).

I am following global and local electronic waste (e-waste) flows, the influence of the electronics market to technospheres of repairing, reusing and repurposing. The assemblages of labour, ethnicity, kinship, care and solidarity arise, and toxicity lifeworlds entangled with e-waste.
