Academic Profile

I am a research assistant and doctoral student at the Ludwig Uhland Institute. My PhD project focuses on the social negotiation of artificial intelligence in Tübingen. Between urban research, local politics and protest, a differentiated picture of the imagined future of the city of Tübingen and everyday life with learning systems will emerge. At the same time, I am continuing the museum focus of my Master's at the Institute. In connection with the current project on new technologies, questions can be asked about museum collections and presentations: How can museums collect, preserve and present digital objects? What is a digital "object"? And how do people in the future imagine our present? In addition to research and teaching, I look after the Institute's technical equipment and infrastructure and support the Archive for Everyday Culture.
