Currently, I am working on the Post-Doc project “Policemen’s writing cultures and state-building in Argentina and Mexico (1880-1900)” at the Chair Vergleichende Geschichtswissenschaft/ Ibero-Amerikanische Geschichte at the Universität Leipzig. After completing my apprenticeship as a journalist in TEA & DeporTEA in Buenos Aires in 2005, I continued studying Anthropology and Slavonic Studies at the University of Leipzig (Germany). For my master thesis, I returned in 2008 to Buenos Aires, where I carried out field research among Roma communities. The resulting article “The forgotten children of Abraham: Iglesia Evangelica Misionera Biblica Rom of Buenos Aires” was awarded 2010 with the Marian Madison Gypsy Lore Society Young Scholars prize. I completed my Ph.D. 2017 under the supervision of Prof. M. Riekenberg and C. Lomnitz on the topic „Una historia densa de la anarquía postindependiente. La violencia política desde la perspectiva del pueblo en armas (Buenos Aires – México, 1820)”. Besides methodological aspects of interdisciplinary work, my research and teaching interests include narratives of conflict and violence, the dynamic between political and legal dis/orders in Latin America past and present, as well as the roles played by different actors in such constellations.
