Hannah Fitsch is a very committed critical neuroscience researcher, combining perseverance with a good way of knowing when the rules must be broken to realise solidarity in academic and activist feminism. This understanding refers to her long and various political activism in anti-fascist and feminist groups and creating networks, such as the network behindert und verrückt feiern – Pride Parade she has co-founded in Berlin 2015. Since 2010 she is a member of the internationally operating NeuroGenderings Network. In 2018 she co-founded the Network Museen queeren Berlin. She studied sociology, biopsychology and new media and earned her PhD at the Technische Universität Berlin on visibilities and sayabilities in functional magnetic resonance imaging. She just published her second book on mathematization of perception in computational neurosciences.

Hannah is a feminist sociologist of science and technology with a focus on neuroscience, (technology) museums, image knowledge/image practices, aesthetics, and feminist theory. In addition to her theoretical research, Hannah Fitsch is always looking for other formats of expression at the intersection of scientific and artistic practices, for example curating exhibitions in museums, dramaturgical counseling in  theaters, and with own artistic works like video, audio and/ or visual works. With the award, referring to Emma Goldmanns political struggles, she wants to work on feminist and communist utopias in connection with technological conditions that would be needed for this, and what it is that makes people fight against sexism, racism and classism, and what are the hopes that keep us going. www.hannahfitsch.de
