Devrim Eren (she/her)
Devrim Eren is a doctoral student in Global and Area Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Asian and African Studies. Her research bridges environmental inequalities, intersectionality and decolonial praxis. Her work, based in the urban peripheries of India, focuses on the entanglement of pre-colonial sociocultures, colonial vestiges and neoliberal influences in shaping waste (picking) as part of the informal urban economy and quotidian ways of waste pickers’ resistance for environmental justice. Her research connects Latin American thought with South Asian Studies.
She holds an MA in Modern South and Southeast Asian Studies and a BA in Information Science, and Asian and African Studies, both from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Apart from her research, she works as a political educator, focusing on topics such as anti-racism and feminist thought.
