05.6.2024 | 16:30 | online | English | Center Sustain
Dr. Britta Acksel studied Cultural Anthropology and Political Science in Münster, Hastings (NE/USA), Frankfurt and, Istanbul. She completed her doctorate in Cultural Anthropology at Goethe University Frankfurt supervised by Prof. Dr. Gisela Welz and Prof. Dr. Jörg Niewöhner (HU Berlin/TU Munich) in 2022. Titled “Städte auf dem Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit. Ethnographische Einblicke und Analysen” her Dissertation was just published by transcirpt (funded by the Open Access Grant of Goethe-University).
As the title indicates (literally translated as “Cities on their way to sustainability”) the cultural anthropologist does research on different aspects of sustainability, mainly in relation to cities for many years. Starting in 2013 she was a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities Essen (KWI), first working for Prof. Dr. Claus Leggewie and from 2018 onwards for Prof. Dr. Julika Griem. In her time at KWI Britta Acksel was part of different inter- and transdisciplinary projects and involved in setting up the teaching lab, among other things.
