Dr. Laibor Kalanga Moko is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Hamburg, Germany, where he has worked since March 2025. His research critically examines colonial collections in German ethnographic museums through the lens of Tanzanian communities including the Maasai, Chagga, Hehe, and Ngoni, focusing on materiality, affect, and decolonization debates. His educational background includes: PhD in Anthropology from Freie Universität Berlin (2023) M.A. in Sociology from the University of Dodoma, Tanzania (2015) B.A. in Sociology from the University of Dodoma, Tanzania (2013) Dr. Moko's research spans anthropology of material culture, colonialism-capitalism intersections, ethnographic museum studies, and affect/emotion anthropology with regional expertise in East Africa. He employs ethnographic and visual methods to investigate community attributions of meaning to colonial collections, affective dissonances in museum collaborations, and pathways for integrating indigenous voices into transnational restitution dialogues. His work bridges theoretical rigor with community-centered praxis. His publication trajectory (2017-2024) reveals a concentrated focus on Maasai collections in German museums, evolving from healthcare studies in Tanzanian pastoral communities toward sophisticated analyses of colonial violence, object alienability, and affective publics. The corpus demonstrates increasing theoretical depth in decolonial museum studies while maintaining empirical grounding in Tanzanian community perspectives, culminating in his award-winning doctoral dissertation on sensing colonial orders through Maasai materialities. Dr. Moko's scholarly recognition includes: Ernst-Reuter-Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Theses at Freie Universität Berlin (2024) Berlin’s Scientific Society (BWG) in Cooperation with the Erhard Höpfner Foundation (EHS) Award for Outstanding Doctoral Achievement (2024) While his postdoctoral role at Hamburg emphasizes independent research, his prior positions at Freie Universität Berlin (including the Collaborative Research Center 'Affective Societies') and University of Dodoma demonstrate extensive experience in academic mentoring. No specific grant information is provided, though his award-winning doctoral work likely involved competitive funding. Dr. Moko's current work continues his engagement with transnational museum restitution debates, building on his prior affiliation with Berlin's Collaborative Research Center 'Affective Societies' to develop community-driven frameworks that center Tanzanian epistemologies in decolonizing museum practices.

Her work bridges social philosophy, feminism, and epistemology, with particular attention to immanent critique as a methodological approach. She has developed a significant perspective on family abolition as a form of radical emancipation, connecting Marxist and queer feminist frameworks to contemporary debates about care, reproduction, and social organization. Her recent work explores children's autonomy, experiments in living, and the political dimensions of reproductive labor. Fulbright Scholar (2023/24 research stay at MIT) As an educator, von Samson has taught numerous tutorials and seminars at Humboldt University since 2018, covering topics such as autonomy, alienation, spontaneity, ideology and adaptive preferences, liberal feminism, and the intersection of feminism and family structures.
