Luca Scheunpflug

Luca Scheunpflug is a Research Associate and doctoral student at the Institute for Sociology and Cultural Organization (ISKO) at Leuphana University, and a member of the Centre for Digital Cultures (CDC). His interdisciplinary work bridges multiple research centers within the university with international experience spanning Germany, Spain, and Latin America.

His research program critically examines:

• Infrastructures and urban nature through urban political ecology frameworks
• Environmental justice dimensions in water-urban society relationships
• Spatiotemporal dynamics between water systems and urban communities amid climate change
• Power-driven political ontologies emerging around digital infrastructure technologies
• More-than-human relationships in urban environments

Scheunpflug's scholarly foundation includes previous research on public service remunicipalization, social movement mobilization, and water conflict dynamics. Beyond academia, he actively engages in political education addressing urban development, postcolonial continuities, global interdependencies, and climate justice in adaptation processes.
