My work focuses on popular culture research, cultural science technology research, archives and cultural heritage, popular music and anthropology of the senses. I studied Folklore / Cultural Anthropology, Business Administration and Law in Hamburg and Seville (B.A., 2004, M.A. 2007) and did a PhD on cultural heritage and media archives at the University of Zurich (2008-12, Popular Cultures). In addition to research and teaching, I am committed to the transfer of cultural-scientific knowledge and have completed at the University of Hamburg, the additional study museum management (2006). I am co-speaker of the dgv-Kommission Arbeitskulturen (dgv-arbeitskulturen.de) and a member of various cultural scientific societies.
