Biography

Annika Mattissek is a professor specializing in Economic Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of Freiburg. Her research focuses on the interplay between social norms and environmental change, particularly how discursive negotiation processes shape perspectives on what is considered 'right' or 'good' in the context of politics and planning. She employs political-geographical analyses to study migration, conflicts, and the exploitation of natural resources, as well as political-geographic perspectives on German military involvement. Prof. Mattissek examines how new technologies alter human-nature interactions and seeks a basic understanding of the human perspectives and practices that are socially constructed. Her academic work is characterized by empirical focal points and a commitment to exploring the complexities of environmental issues within societal contexts. Mattissek is also involved in supervising dissertations and habilitations within her field.
