Curriculum Vitae
After studying at Ruhr-University Bochum, Jannik Keindorf joined the University of Duisburg-Essen as a member of the ERC project Atlantic Exiles. Since March 2023, he is a PhD researcher at the University of Tübingen in the Atlantic Exiles project. His dissertation project, preliminarily titled Kingston as a Hub of Refugee Movements during the Age of Revolutions, c. 1780-1820, focuses on political refugees in Kingston, Jamaica. The project follows an approach that seeks to bring local developments in connection with their repercussions within the wider British imperial context. Two focal points are how imperial subjecthood was negotiated locally in the administrative and social reception of refugees along a fundamental differentiation between ‘subjects’ and ‘aliens’, and how refugees played a crucial part in imperial transformation and ‘improvement’ discourse around balancing the geopolitical interests of the metropole with local concerns of the colonies.
