Felix Anderl is a Professor at the University of Marburg.
From January 2019 until August 2020, Felix was a Postdoctoral Research Associate on the ERC-funded project ARTEFACT. He is investigating the historical sociology of international politics, with a focus on protest, resistance and critique. He particularly analyzes social movements and other critics and their relations to international organisations in the fields of economic policy, development, food and agriculture. In his current project, ARTEFACT-Solidarity, he investigates possibilities for solidarity across difference and how imaginaries of “the global” constitute, inform or undermine such solidarity. He utilizes a mix of methods such as discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches and has gained much of his experience during fieldwork in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. Felix has published on questions around the globalization of knowledge and how transnational power structures increasingly inform daily lives, even if they are veiled by “the myth of the local”.
Prior to joining CRASSH, Felix worked as a research associate at the Cluster of Excellence: The Formation of Normative Orders at the University of Frankfurt. He was employed in a research project on opposition and dissidence in the global justice movement. In his PhD project, he analyzed mechanisms of rule in "global governance” with the example of the World Bank Group’s interaction with transnational protest movements. In 2016, he spent three months as a visiting scholar at the Elliott School of International Affairs (Washington D.C.). He obtained degrees in Political Science and History (B.A.) from Freiburg University and 'International Relations: Global Governance and Social Theory' (M.A.) from Jacobs University and the University of Bremen.
