Marcel Wrzesinski
Marcel Wrzesinski is Open Access Officer at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and a research associate for the DFG project “Innovative Open Access in the Small Sciences” (in cooperation with ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics). The project develops innovative solutions for improving Open Access publication infrastructures, designs sustainable financing models for scholar-led, non-APC journals and transfers the outcomes into the community.
Marcel studied philosophy, gender studies, European ethnology and folklore studies in Bochum and Münster. His PhD project analyzes narratives of the future in post-war sexual emancipatory manifestos. Prior to his time at HIIG, he worked as an editor and led Open Access activities at the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (Giessen). Later, he became a research associate for a project concerning Open Access transformation in gender studies (FU Berlin), which was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). He lectured at the universities of Giessen, Cologne, Bochum, the Humboldt University Berlin and the New School for Social Research (New York City).
In 2017, he co-founded the “Open Gender Journal” (OA Gold), became a co-speaker of the working group “Open Digital Gender Studies” in 2018, and was a member of the executive board of the German Gender Studies Association (2018-2020). In these capacities he mainly focusses on professionalizing, sustaining and networking Open Access in “smaller science” contexts.
