about

I’m a multidisciplinary researcher and I am developing my own research method in my doctoral thesis. Thematically, I am interested in the impact of migration of parents from former Yugoslavia on the second generation in Switzerland. Based on my own concept of 'epistemic listening' I methodologically combine elements from the fields of videography, anthropology and psychoanalysis.

In addition to my funded research, I do image, sound and video experiments while often combining text and image. The outcome is always uncertain.

My research is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
