  • Maren Hofius
    5 November – 21 December 2012
    PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg (Germany). Her PhD project is entitled Making sense of the EUropean ‘community of values’ at the EU’s borders. This is a practice theory inspired study of the ways in which the EU’s collectivity may be created and maintained in practice. It follows a reflexive and practice-based approach that highlights how ‘community’ can be established and works as an empirical reality. For this purpose, the project specifically deals with the micro-processes of community which are not concerned with questions of the possibility of community, but with concrete instances of its formation, that is questions as to how communities are constituted and how individuals make sense of them. Maren holds a joint MA degree in Contemporary European Studies from the University of Bath and the Humboldt University of Berlin. She was awarded a visiting PhD research grant by the DoRa programme, sponsored by CEURUS affiliated scholar Prof Viacheslav Morozov.
