As a “Landei” (“country bumpkin”) from Upper Swabia, I began my scientific life in geography (diploma and doctorate) with what was for me at the time a big leap to Tübingen. Even the path via Innsbruck (habilitation) to Hamburg (professorship) has not kept me from keeping rural areas – whatever that is – as my scientific focus until today. I started with political-ecological perspectives on smallholder contexts in Brazil and Bolivia, which were then complemented by smaller studies in Colombia and Argentina, to eventually analyze issues of climate change, water, and lifeworlds of Quechua-speaking populations in the Peruvian Andes. At the same time, I have begun to do “homework,” to examine my own research practice for colonialities and to look at postcolonial relations in academia and the university. Conceptually, I engage with Political Ecology, Rural and Peasant Studies, global inequalities, resistance and emancipatory approaches combined with an attempt to incorporate postcolonial and critical race perspectives into my research practice.
