Ani Anjum, a socioeconomist by training, is a PhD candidate at the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology. Their dissertation deals with labour, well-being, and dignity of precarious migrants in Berlin to understand the broader workings of imperialism in the contemporary world. The research project follows borders by delving into the evictability of precarious migrants from public spaces, housing market, and personal lives, as well as the arrhythmia of work and life brought about by contradictory senses in waiting. It brings to the forefront conversations on social parameters of poverty, quality of life, and the right to a dignified existence through the common marginalisations of people.
