Research priorities

With a focus on feminist epistemology and criticism, she is one of the few German-speaking authors who combines gender and queer theory with post-colonial and post-secular approaches. It established gender and religion as deessentialized, intersectional categories of knowledge.

Auga's current research areas include:

  • The biopolitics of gender and religion
  • The knowledge order and the symbolic gender order. Post-colonial, post-secular, queer and activist advancement of the theory
  • Gender, Performativity and Agency in the Visual Archive
  • Gender, Life and Technoscience.

In her research on construction and regulation models, Auga starts with various religious and secular knowledge about gender, collective body and life in a comparison of different faith communities (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), and asks them about the relationship between religion and (epistemic) violence as well as agency . Auga's research and scientific work include discourses on health and sexual rights as human rights as well as HIV / AIDS discourses.
