Morgane Llanque
Journalist and Author
Morgane Llanque is a journalist and writer. Her debut non-fiction book, Diversity: Another History of Humankind (Vielfalt- Eine andere Geschichte der Menschheit), was published in 2025 and received a nomination for the Best Science Book of the Year Award. She studied history, politics and cultural journalism, and was a fellow of both the Catholic School of Journalism and the Heinrich Böll Foundation's Transatlantic Media Fellowship programme. She was also a fellow of the IJP (International Journalists' Programmes) in London. She writes for the magazine of the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen) and, amongst others, for Die Zeit, taz and Good Impact magazine, in which her column 'Histourism' appears.
During her fellowship, Morgane Llanque will examine contemporary intersectional alliances in the U.S., including interethnic, queer-feminist and environmental initiatives relating to the values of the Rainbow Coalition founded by Fred Hampton in 1969. Her focus is on intersectional resistance that advocates for a more just society in the USA and unites rather than divides.
