Abstract

HI,

I am Susann Ludwig, a lecturer and researcher at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology here in Leipzig. I studied social anthropology and did a PhD in African Studies and I am fascinated by questions around space, relationality, collaboration and possibility. Currently, I am working on understanding and the relationship between chance and science.
