About

I studied art history, business administration, and modern history at the University of Zurich. Currently I am doing a PhD (Textual Practices and Open Access. Facilitating more equitable relations in/for scholarly publishing (wt)) at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures, Coventry University. My research interests are, among other, collaborative and interventionist research, writing, and editing practices and cultures; open scholarship; expanded notions of accessibility; experimental open monograph publishing in the humanities; the politics and ethics of critical Open Access publishing; genealogies of Open Access; intersectional feminist critiques of internationalised knowledge creation; and the transformative potential of negotiated, situated, and relational textual practices.

I am also a researcher on WP6: Experimental Publishing, Re-use, and Impact of the Coventry University based COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) research project; a  member of Jisc's Open Research Advisory Board; an editorial board member of continent.; and a co-editor of the Combinatorial Books: Gathering Flowers experimental book series with Open Humanities Press.

​

My previous work as a writer;  managing editor; a writing and thesis tutor at the MA Studio for Immediate Spaces, Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam; a visiting professor at diverse universities; curator; and researcher evolved at the intersections of experimental publishing, art, design, architecture, and the humanities. I am a founding member of DA Institut, as well as a member and former co-director of Depot Basel.
