In seven distinct yet closely entangled projects, the DFG Research Unit Collaborations: Assemblages, Articulations, Alliances investigates a wide range of cultural texts, artifacts, performances, social movements, and practices that gesture toward new collaborative ways of addressing the planet-wide multi-crises of the present. Guided by this focus, the Research Unit systematically and exemplarily examines both emergent and enduring forms of social and political collaboration among human and other-than-human actors. The Research Unit itself is conceived as a collaborative endeavor, bringing together scholars of Anglophone literary and cultural studies with colleagues from sociology, anthropology, and political theory.

Together with Prof. Dr. Nicole Waller, I lead the project on Settler Decolonization in Country/on Land: Rehearsing Collaboration.
