Sanja Bökle

Sanja Bökle was a guest from January until December 2023. Sanja was a Doctoral Research Fellow in the research project “Civil Society Organizations and the Challenges of Migration: Agents of Change (ZOMiDi)”. Sanja studied international development studies at the University of Vienna and the Universidad de la República Uruguay, and worked as a Student Assistant at the Department for Development Cooperation and Development Politics at the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Vienna. Drawing from post-colonial, queer and feminist theories, Sanja’s master thesis asked how gender, sexuality, desire, and race are normed, negotiated, limited, and included in international voluntary work, and was published in the Kölner Wissenschaftsverlag and Nomos-Verlag. Sanja worked for many years as a social justice and diversity trainer, and founded an NGO for political education.
