📚✨ Diese Woche sind Thorsten Merl und ich mit einem Gastbeitrag in der @zeit.de vertreten. Wir schreiben über alte und neue Machtstrukturen, und darüber, was das Department-Modell für Zusammenarbeit, Karrierewege und die Zukunft der Hochschulen bedeutet. Online hier: www.zeit.de/2025/54/lehr...

🎙️ Die neue PaNGeo-Podcastfolge ist online! Ich spreche darin über Legal Geographies – warum Recht immer räumlich wirkt – und gebe Einblicke in mein DFG-Projekt „Zwangsgeräumt“ zu Mietstreitigkeiten und Alltag im Amtsgericht. Hier könnt ihr reinhören: open.spotify.com/episode/6zGV...

So delighted to see this piece out in @areajournal.bsky.social — a journal I value enormously for its sharp, thoughtful and boundary-pushing work in geography. The article grows out of my research on eviction hearings and explores how legality is lived, felt and negotiated in court. ⤵️ #geosky

New issue of sub\urban is out today — and our team has a piece in it! 📝 “Recht verständlich machen?” A reflection on using a fold-out legal map as a visual intervention in the context of eviction and housing loss. 👉 Article link: zeitschrift-suburban.de/sys/index.ph...

🔇Excited to share that Thorsten (Merl) and I are co-organizing a Workshop on Debt together. We’ll bring together researchers, practitioners & community actors to talk about how debt shapes daily life — from courtrooms and enforcement routines to the emotional and moral weight households carry. ⤵️

🔇 New paper out in AREA! Based on my DFG-funded ethnographic work on eviction trials in German district courts, the paper explores how legality is felt, lived, and negotiated through bodies, atmospheres, and everyday encounters. 1/2 #geosyk #courtroomethnography #legalgeography #evictions

Two days at the District Court of Hamburg-Mitte, observing eviction hearings — a window into how law and everyday life collide. What stands out again and again: how differently these cases unfold depending on who’s in the room. 1/2 ⤵️ #geosky #legalgeography

📢 CFP | AAG 2026, San Francisco Crisis between the Ordinary and Eventful: Housing, Material Conditions, and Everyday Urbanism In many cities, crisis isn’t rupture—it’s everyday life. Evictions, debt, precarity, housing struggles. But also repair, care, solidarity. @geographers.bsky.social #geosky

On the train home from Birmingham after an inspiring @rgsibg.bsky.social conference, I’ve been reflecting on some of the many highlights of the past days. One that will stay with me for a long time is the @acme-geography.bsky.social plenary on “What is Critical Geography, What Can, and Must,it Be?”

The panel “What Is Critical Geography, and What Can, and Must, It Be?” yesterday was so necessary to think about the futures we aspire to have - whilst having to address all sorts of emergencies now. Thank you @sklosterkamp.bsky.social for convening! #RGSIBG25

For those in Birmingham (I'm not): this will be real cool I'm sure.

Call for sessions for the RC21 conference in Vienna, 20-22 July, 2026. Deadline for submissions: 6th of October 2025. rc21-vienna2026.org/call-for-ses... #urban #sociology

Yesterday I gave a talk at the Geographical Colloquium at the University of Halle-Wittenberg on a topic that remains urgent: #Evictions in times of overlapping crises 🏠⚖️ What happens when legal arguments meet existential #housing loss? And how do #courts become driving forces of urban displacement?

Gestern in der MONAliesA – feministische Bibliothek & archiv Leipzig: Meine Kollegin, Tabea Latocha und ich, durften zum Thema Feministische Wohnungspolitik sprechen. 🏠💜 ▶️ Wie hängen Wohnen und Prekarität zusammen? ▶️ Was bedeutet es, sich zuhause zu fühlen – und wer wird davon ausgeschlossen?
