So far, my focus and expertise lies in the fields of queer theory and trans studies. In my master thesis, through applying (partially queer theoretical) subjectification theories, I explored how trans individuals negotiate normative pressures. Currently, I find myself delving into questions of (alternative) knowledge production. In doing so, I am pursuing my interest in post- and decolonial studies.
