I have been lecturing and researching at the TU Hamburg-Harburg in the department of Work - Gender - Technology since 03.03.03.

Due to the path of my career, my work crosses the borderlines of sociology and computer science.

I find it an exciting and challenging task to make labour-related and sociological aspects of technical organisation accessible to students of engineering and computer science through my teaching.

I am also convinced that gender perspectives enable us to see many of our society's problems in a new light. Using gender competence, we can thus construct a new analysis and organisation of the culture of a technical university, structures of the division of labour in society or technical artefacts, for example.

In my research, I attempt to combine feminist scientific findings with practical and political action. My work is currently focused on the critique of the neoliberal system and the debate about alternatives for action for human work and life perspectives.

In order to support political action, I founded in the beginning of 2007 together with my colleagues Dr. Tanja Carstensen and Dipl.-Päd. Melanie Groß the Feminist Institut Hamburg.
