Academic Profile
I am Ann-Marie and since March 2023 research assistant and PhD candidate at the Ludwig-Uhland-Institute for Historical and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tübingen. My research focuses on the ethnographic research of gender, emotion and affect, and the sociology of knowledge within the field of digital anthropology. During my master studies at the University of Leipzig, I have conducted a digital ethnography researching the modes of experiencing involuntary celibacy and sense-making processes of young men, who create homosocial spaces online to express feelings of loneliness, weakness, and frustration. I am part of the DFG-funded research project “Curating the Feed: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Digital Image Feeds and their Curatorial Assemblages”, which is integrated in the DFG priority programme “The Digital Image.” Within this project, my research is particularly interested in the entanglements of human practices and algorithmic processes and how digital technologies are embedded in everyday-life.
