Devrim Eren

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institute for Asian and African Studies), Germany

Devrim Eren is a female third-year doctoral student in Global and Area Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Asian and African Studies. Her research bridges intersectionality, decoloniality and environmental injustices. Her work, based in the urban peripheries in India, focuses on how the entanglement of pre-colonial sociocultures, colonial vestiges and the neoliberal turn influence waste work as part of the informal urban economy and quotidian ways of workers’ resistance. Her research interests include decolonial and postcolonial theory, feminism, environmental justice, labor and social movements. Her work connects Latin American thought and South Asian Studies. She holds a BA in Information Science and Asian and African studies, and a MA in Modern South and Southeast Asian Studies (both from Humboldt Universität zu Berlin). She has completed study and research stays in Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi, Hyderabad, Copenhagen, Guadalajara, Havana, Buenos Aires and Barcelona. Apart from her research, she works as a political educator, focusing on topics such as anti-racism and feminist thought.
