Expanding the Combat Zone

Eintrag auf dem Blog des International Feminist Journal of Politics, in dem der gleichlautende Aufsatz erschienen ist.

In reconsidering the paths that have led me to (as a student) and through (as a scholar) academia, research and the university, I realize that three issues have haunted me from the very beginning: violence, knowlege, and an explicitly critical perspective towards the entanglements between the two. Brilliant feminist teachers, especially in Vienna and Berlin, provided me with the appropriate glasses to view the world, and more recently, post- and decolonial scholars from across the globe sensitized me to further complications, especially when it comes to analyzing political violence and power relations. It is therefore not by coincidence that the topic of epistemic violence has gradually become the overall interest of my research and teaching in the field of Peace Studies and beyond.
