I'm a fox experienced in academic walking workshops. I've organised two of those already at academic conferences in Dresden and Tartu, Estonia so far!
For the last few years, I've been working as a geographer and research software engineer on all kinds of active mobility.
Outside of work, I'm rooted in queer and political activism.

Sessions
There's plenty of mobility that could have been: from the large infrastructure that fell into disuse to the small things left by the wayside. From the mobility that went out with a bang to the bicycle that's slowly rusting at the train station. We'll take you on a picture tour of all the big and small things that could have moved people through space and time, but in our reality do not.
We do it every day, but we rarely really think deeply about it! This workshop explores walking from an unusual perspective. On a guided stroll through Darmstadt, we'll look deeper into the experience of walking. Explore the boundary between hard infrastructure and our 'soft' emotions, feel how space shapes our experience and how our practice of walking shapes space!
