He investigates the historical sociology of international politics, with a focus on protest, resistance and critique. He particularly analyses social movements and other critics and their relations to international organisations in the fields of economic policy, development, food and agriculture. In his current project at CRASSH, he investigates possibilities for solidarity across difference and how imaginaries of “the global” constitute, inform or undermine such solidarity. He utilises a mix of methods such as discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches and has gained much of his experience during fieldwork in South-East Asia, especially Indonesia.

Prior to joining CRASSH, Felix worked as a research associate at the Cluster of Excellence: The Formation of Normative Orders at the University of Frankfurt. In his PhD project, he analysed mechanisms of rule in 'global governance' with the example of the World Bank Group’s interaction with transnational protest movements. In 2016, he spent three months as a visiting scholar at the Elliott School of International Affairs (Washington DC). He obtained degrees in Political Science and History (BA) from Freiburg University and 'International Relations: Global Governance and Social Theory' (MA) from Jacobs University and the University of Bremen.
