Heike Wieters has been Junior Professor of Historical European Studies at the Institute of History at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 2019. She completed her doctorate at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder with a thesis on the rise of international humanitarian NGOs in the 20th century. Her current research focuses on the contemporary history of European integration, the history of nutrition, global welfare (state) research, and the transnational history of relationships and interactions between state and private actors.
Nikola Tietze is WiKu Fellow at the Centre Marc Bloch and Associated Researcher at the Laboratoire interdisciplinaire pour la sociologie économique (Lise) (Cnam, Paris) since 2017. After having studied political science in Berlin and Paris, she completed her doctorate in sociology at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, Paris) and the Philipps-Universität Marburg in 2000 and her habilitation at the Universität Hamburg in 2012. She worked from 2000 to 2015 at the Hamburger Institut für Sozialforschung (HIS, Hamburg). Her current research interests concern the migrant workers’ capabilities to act upon social inequalities and systemic discrimination, on the one hand, and the process of Europeanization through pos-sovereign territoriality, on the other.
