Dissertationsprojekt
'Moving towards Power? Mobilities within Political Mobilization in Uganda, Kenya and Eastern DRC' Political mobilization is a key element of winning elections in our increasingly mobile world. Likewise, mobility is an important aspect of mobilization during elections. Currently however, there is only limited knowledge on how mobility really affects political mobilization and the results of elections. Likewise, the interplay of mobility, mobilization and power during processes of mobilization has received little attention. To answer the question of how mobility shapes political mobilization and through it power relations this project will examine the political mobilization of Motorcycle Taxi riders and other mobile groups in during elections in Uganda, Kenya and Eastern Congo.
Im Zentrum meines Forschungsinteresses liegen die vielfältigen Verknüpfungen zwischen Politischer Geographie und Mobilitätsforschung. Schwerpunkte der Forschung sind dabei Wahlgeographien, Politische Mobilisierung und Transportinfrastrukturen. Der räumliche Fokus meiner Forschungstätigkeit ist Ost- und Zentralafrika.
- Politische Geographie
- Politische Mobilisierung und Wahlen
- Mobilitätsforschung
