Ursula Probst is a PhD student at the Institute for Social and Cultural Anthropology (Freie Universität Berlin) investigating (labour) migration, the social production of bodies, and health in urban settings with a particular focus on the commercialisation of sexuality, intimate labor and the sex industry. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with migrants from Eastern Europe who are/were working in different sectors of the sex industry in Berlin, she is currently analysing the racialised and sexualised dimensions of so-called "Europeanisation" processes and (Eastern) European (non-)belongings as an embodied practice.
