He critically examines histories of colonization and looks at their counter-discourses seen in Global South knowledges expressed in visual culture and literature, especially those produced from Indigenous ancestral worldviews.

She teaches courses on topics such as Germany as a multicultural society, urban life in Berlin, European borderlands, and postwar literature.
