Besides he is working on a monograph about the history of Rubondo Island (Tanzania), which has been transformed into Africa’s first conservation island during the postcolonial transition in the 1960s and 1970s. In is PhD thesis (Goethe University Frankfurt, 2014) he investigated encounters and relations between littoral societies on the east and west coasts of Africa and whaling crews from North America and Great Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Further research interests include the history of islands and processes of islanding in the global tropical belt and the significance of waterbodies in the modern history of Africa.
