Annemiek Prins

Annemiek Prins works as a postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at the Radboud University of Nijmegen. She obtained her PhD from the University of Aberdeen, focusing on the contestation of cycle-rickshaw mobilities and labor in Bangladesh. Her doctoral dissertation, “Unfixing the City: Rickshaw Mobilities, Modernities and Urban Change in Dhaka”, explores different aspects of contemporary urbanism, including: mobility, informal labor, peripheral urbanization, and expectations of modernity. Her current research project, which is also based in Bangladesh, tries to better understand and situate realities of urbanization as part of the dynamic context of Bengal delta and looks at the interplay between infrastructure, sand extraction, and environmental change in the wake of Padma Bridge construction.
