\"BllackI am a postdoctoral researcher at the college for Social Sciences and Humanities with the research professorship Curating Digital Objects of Cultural Knowledge and Memory (Tahani Nadim) in Bochum. Before, I worked as a research associate in a DFG-funded project at HU Berlin and TU Munich and studied social and cultural anthropology at HU Berlin, FU Berlin andAix-Marseille Universit\u00e9, France.<\/p>\n

In November 20205 I defended my PhD thesis “Doing difference, materiality and complexity with simulation models: An ethnography of modeling social-ecological relations in interdisciplinary sustainability research”. In the thesis I explored the epistemological, ontological, and ethical dimensions of modelling in interdisciplinary sustainability research as a set of iterative and entangled material-semiotic knowledge practices. This was grounded in ethnographic fieldwork on the construction and use of statistical and numerical models of social-ecological relations in two research groups in Stockholm and Accra. I contributed to the ethnography of modeling and explored the collaborative and co-laborative potential of connecting ethnography and simulation modeling in research on social-ecological relations in ways that do not reduce ethnographic data to modeling input. One important output was the developmentof a framework for doing Situated Modeling together with modelers and non-modelers. I argue that this engagement is necessary for anthropology in the Anthropocene in order to grasp and navigate the deep, dynamic and cross-scale social-ecological changes more-than human life on Earth needs to face, and work towards just sustainability transformations.<\/p>\n

I continue to be interested in these kinds of collaboartions and\u00a0deeply enjoy working in and communicating across interdisciplinary contexts. In my postdoctoral research, I am working with an interdisciplinary team in France, Tunisia, Sweden and the Netherlands towards developing multispecies concepts and methodologies to understand causalities and temporalities of biodiversity decline in two Mediterranean case studies. We will use fieldwork, participatory methods, simulation modeling and archival research to trace the impact on social-ecological relations of the blue crab in the Gulf of Gab\u00e8s and of salinization in the Camargue and work towards relational governance approaches.
