Tabea Bork-Hüffer Research

The main question guiding Tabea Bork-Hüffer’s research is how digital technologies influence everyday lives and spaces, shaping social inclusion and exclusion, social sustainability, and well-being. A particular focus lies on co-productive research with marginalised populations—especially in relation to migration, disability, and gender. She is a geographer whose work is characterised by interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary outreach, and by a focus on cross-cutting themes.

Tabea Bork-Hüffer’s research employs innovative and experimental multi- and mixed-method approaches, incorporating digital, mobile, and visual methods. Her regional focus includes Central Europe (Austria, Germany) as well as Southeast and East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, China).

Her work has been supported by grants from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), the German Research Foundation (DFG), the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Among other roles, she served as Scientific Coordinator of the DFG Priority Program (SPP) “Megacities – Megachallenge: Informal Dynamics of Global Change.”
