Leon Rosa Reichle

With a sociology and political science background from the Universities of Leipzig, Jena and Grenoble (Sciences Po), I am currently focussing on the study of housing relations in the context of urban restructuring in Eastern Germany. This serves as a prism for my broader interests in the social production of space, feminist theory and political economy, governance and the problem of structure and agency, and the implications of neoliberal austerity urbanism in everyday life.
