Hello, I’m Marie, a historian by training, specializing in global economic history and the history of development, as well as postcolonial business history.

The role of Africa and Asia in the context of post-colonial development policy is particularly important to me, and I have in-depth regional knowledge of Ethiopia and West Africa.

I write, research, manage and teach, and am a mother of three.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the department for economic and social history at Philipps-Universität in Marburg. I’m a passionate advocate of structural reforms that will make academia a better working environment for everyone.

I’m dedicated to promoting the visibility of women experts across diverse backgrounds and engaging in research communication through various platforms, including social media. I love thinking about the way we work and exploring innovative approaches to research management and practice.
