Dr. Jeanette Ehrmann is a political scientist and postdoctoral researcher at the research and teaching area Political Theory. Her research interests are situated at the intersection of political theory, post- and decolonial studies, feminist and race critical theories.

Jeanette studied Political Science, Sociology, Social Psychology and Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology as well as Gender Studies at Goethe University Frankfurt and University of Cyprus Nicosia.

Her dissertation entitled “Tropes of Freedom. The Haitian Revolution and the Decolonization of the Political”, was awarded the Werner Pünder-Prize 2019 for outstanding research on the subject of “freedom and domination in past and present”. The book will be published with Suhrkamp in 2023.
