About me

Hi there, my name is Sarah (she/her). I am a Postdoc and feminist political geographer, currently affiliated at the University of Bonn, Germany. My work investigates how the law proceeds and multiplies classed and racialized geographies of inequalities within and through state-driven institutions such as courts, asylum facilities, employment offices, and carceral spaces.
