AF (Amélie) Renz, MA

I am a PhD researcher in the comparative ethnographic research project Politics of the Periphery in Urban Latin America: Reconceptualising Politics from the Margins (POPULAR). My PhD project explores the relationships between residents of low-income neighbourhoods and the state around issues of housing and urban restructuring in Recife, Brazil. Before joining the POPULAR project, I studied Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Leipzig and the University of Vienna. My research interests include urban politics, the anthropology of the state, care and structural violence.
