Annette Knaut
Annette Knaut (Augsburg University) is a cultural scientist and sociologist. She is currently working on her ‘Habilitation’ at Augsburg University, Germany. In this work Annette develops a new imaginary of public spaces, called Transcultural Public Spheres, by re-reading and counter-reading common social science concepts of publics and spaces with postcolonial literature. Annette is engaged in different research networks of post- and decolonial thinking as well as discourse studies. Her research lies at the intersection of social science theory, discourse research, gender studies, as well as cultural and postcolonial studies.
