Johanna Bastian studied political science at the University of Leipzig before obtaining her master’s degree in Geography from the University of Bonn with a focus on cultural and social geography.

Her areas of interest include reflexive migration studies, feminist geographies and qualitative research methods. In her master thesis, she applied these perspectives to explore the emotional and affective aspects of translocal relations using the case study of food being sent between Tunisia and Germany.

Before joining the DeZIM, she worked in the research project "Everyday Experiences of Young Refugees and Ayslum Seekers in Public Space" and supported the research group on Geographies of Belonging and Difference at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography.
