Besides running this blog, I am a German social anthropologist and political scientist doing my Ph.D. at the Universities of Munich and Basel. I’m currently conducting qualitative research on digital transformations of local politics in Munich, Murcia and Tel Aviv. I believe that digital technologies and social media have the potential to transform our political systems. The question is how? To what extent are citizens involved in and affected by those deep societal changes that we call the “digital revolution”. How do we “do” democracy in the digital age?

The symposium will bring together multidisciplinary perspectives on the geographically interpreting of well-being in urban settings by drawing on past, present, formal, confined, improvised, informal, fictional and lived therapeutic landscapes. The examples range from mental institutions to coffeehouses up to soundscapes or the city skyline.

Let’s change the perspective within the euro crisis. There is more to politics than macro-economics and incomprehensible numbers. A visit to a support meeting in Murcia, Spain, can give us an idea how it feels to lose a home after 30 years of working.
