Franziska Christina Paul is a Research Associate in the Adam Smith Business School.
Franziska currently works on a European Research Council grant titled “Global Remunicipalisation and the Post-Neoliberal Turn” (2019-2024). The project critically interrogates the growing phenomenon of remunicipalisation and its implications for an emerging post-neoliberal urbanism.

The project was supervised by Dr David Featherstone and Professor Andrew Cumbers, and was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
Prior to the PhD, Franziska received a first-class MA in Geography and Sociology from the University of Aberdeen (2010-2014) and graduated with distinction from the MRes in Human Geography at the University of Glasgow (2014-2015).
