The german translation of Fatima El-Tayeb's European Others - Queering Ethnicity in Postnational Europe will be out in Fall 2015.
Texts involve power, they can foster oppression and they can support emancipation. In my translations from english to german and copyediting in german I try to responsibly and creatively engage with this power. I love working on text that aims at changing social politics – shifting norms and structures, knowledges and narratives.
Along with philosophical essays and humanities literature as well as some poetry and fiction, I gathered experience with various text forms – from interviews, journalist press releases, activist campaigning and art catalogues to more specific online formats and film subtitles.
I gained bilingual knowledge and respective language competence in the following fields of study:
- Gender and Migration Studies
- Racism and Sexuality Studies
- Feminist Science Studies
- Historiographies and History of Consciousness
- Political Philosophy
- Social Movements
- Critical Pedagogics and Education

WITH WINGS AND ROOTS
"is a transmedia, transnational community project that is reimagining belonging beyond traditional borders. Complimenting the feature length film, the project hosts an interactive web-platform, produces curricula and hosts live events. We share stories and resources to empower ourselves, shift discourses, build alliances and increase the voices of young people in debates about migration and inclusion."
