Research and Teaching

In her research, Hornidge deals with the dynamics of human notions of reality and the future, knowledge regimes and their mobilization in situations shaped by change (environmental, climate change, or socio-political transformation processes). In doing so, she examines the processes of production and dissemination of different types of knowledge, the social structures that determine them, and the extent to which they guide actions - at the local level, but also at the level of science policy. In many of her works there is a strong environmental focus. For many years she has researched agricultural knowledge and innovation systems in Central and Southeast Asia in interaction with processes of environmental change and socio-political transformation. Since moving to the University of Bremen and the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Research in Bremen, however, she has been working increasingly on marine systems for scientific and everyday knowledge production that are related to the sea. As part of the DFG-funded research project Epistemic Mobilities and the Governance of Environmental Risks in Island Southeast Asia, for example, in cooperation with colleagues from Bremen and Southeast Asia , she investigates translation processes in dealing with sea level rise and thus globally communicated solution strategies and their adaptation and further development in local contexts Manilas, Singapore and Jakartas. In this way, concrete contributions are made to researching different social learning patterns in dealing with coastal change processes. Hornidge is also head of an EU-funded networking project entitled Ocean Governance for Sustainability - Opportunities, Challenges and the Role of Science , through which a Europe-wide network at the interface between marine social science research with a governance focus and political decision-makers over the period four years.

Anna-Katharina Hornidge works in her research primarily in contexts characterized by social, political and economic inequality and development discourses. Regionally, her focus is on Southeast and Central Asia, as well as through collaborations in East Africa and parts of South America.

The aim of her working group 'Sociology of Development and Knowledge' at the ZMT and in cooperation with numerous international and national partners is to make a contribution to the areas of marine science and discourse research, as well as coastal transformation and adaptation research, characterized by epistemic diversity.
