Julia Schöneberg is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Kassel. Her research focusses on postdevelopment in practice, social movements and resistances, as well as decolonial approaches to knowledge production and pedagogy. She is the co-founder of www.convivialthinking.org, a platform seeking to surpass boundaries of origin, ethnicity, professional affiliation and academic discipline in order to give space to inclusive, interdisciplinary and alternative approaches towards mainstream methods of knowledge production, especially in the context of “development”.
