Biography
Birgit Müller's research deals with social and environmental movements in Germany and the Czech Republic and with societies in rapid transformation in Eastern Europe and Latin America. She studied relationships of power and ideology in post-socialist factories in Eastern Europe. This research led her to develop a particular interest for neoliberal, globalized relationships of power and their impact on daily life and work. She currently pursues this interest undertaking a multi-sited research project on Food, Property and Power: Agricultural Technologies as Global Policies and Local Practices with fieldwork in the FAO, and among agricultural producers in Saskatchewan (Canada) and Carazo ( Nicaragua).
