About Julia Heinle

Master's student of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen and the publishing assistant with NIAS Press. 'It matters what stories we tell', in the words of Donna Haraway, and I really enjoying interviewing people on their research, slipping in and out of the moderator role.

Personally, I'm interested in contemporary political theory (anti- and postcolonial theory, studies of biopolitics and the intersection to anti-racist/ classist feminism) as well as ideas of a more-than-human being in the field of political ecology.

Julia Heinle is Master's student of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen and the publishing assistant with NIAS Press.
