About Christoph Haug

Christoph is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Work Science. He wrote his doctoral thesis about “Discursive Decision-making in Meetings of the Global Justice Movement: Cultures and Practices” at the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB) and at Freie Universität Berlin (2010) and then accepted a post-doc position at the Gothenburg Centre of Globalization and Development (GCGD) to study “the politics of the poor” in and around South African shack settlements. He also collaborated with Håkan Thörn, Maj-Lis Follér and Beniamin Knutsson in a Sida-funded project entitled “Governing AIDS through aid to civil society: Global solutions meet local problems in Sub-Saharan Africa”.

In 2017 he initiated a transdisciplinary conference series, The Meeting Science Symposium.
