Boris Vormann

Germany
PhD in Political Science 
Freie Universität Berlin
Professor of Politics, Director Politics Concentration
Boris Vormann is Professor of Politics and Director of the Politics Section at Bard College Berlin. He is also a principal investigator at the John-F.-Kennedy Institute's Graduate School of North American Studies (Freie Universität Berlin) and an associated researcher at the Chaire de Recherche du Canada en Études Québécoises et Canadiennes at the Université du Québec à Montréal. He serves on the editorial board of American Studies/Amerikastudien, A Quarterly, and has held visiting positions at the CUNY Graduate Center, Harvard University, Sciences Po Paris and New York University. 

Vormann's research and teaching lie at the intersection of comparative political economy and economic geography and focus on the role of the state in globalization and urbanization processes; nations and nationalism; and the crisis of democracy. Vormann is a regular commentator on public policy debates for different media outlets (including The Economist, Deutsche Welle, Tagesschau, and Deutschlandfunk). His current research project examines the role of the state in building the urban logistical infrastructures of expanding global trade networks.
