Job description

I am part of The Arctic Sustainability Lab, aiming on interdisciplinary and collaborative science to support a sustainable Arctic future.

My work is focused on interdisciplinary knowledge of humans and their relationships with surrounding environments and how this can support natural science and nature-based solutions.

I am currently working on the following projects:

Area of work:

  • Environmental Anthropology
  • Narrative cartography and cognative mapping
  • Community engagement
  • Social Ecological Systems and Ecosystem Services
  • Ecohistory and cultural landscapes
  • Sustainability sciences

I love teaching the following topics:

  • Sustainability sciences
  • Ecosystembased management and knowledge systems
  • Values and sustainability ethics
  • Cognitive mapping and narrative cartography
  • Science communication
  • Social ecological systems
