My research interests primarily concern Greenland and the Arctic, and span across a range of topics such as kinship, loneliness, and personhood, climate change, taste and food, human-nature-animal relations, and the making and utilization of resources. I am also concerned with exploring and developing methods for collaboration across different knowledge forms.

I am currently PI and grant holder "Hunting Life: Explorations of Biosociality in Greenland" funded by the Carlsberg Foundation. The project explores hunting in Greenland as a biosocial category by focusing on the deep-seeded entanglements of human-animal worlds expressed in hunting, and how hunting is affected by (and affects) changes such as pollution, (un-)regulated hunting, fisheries, resource extraction, and sea ice. The project commenced in September 2022 and runs for three years. Read more about Hunting Life here

Previous projects include: "Loneliness and longing in Greenland" (Carlsberg Foundation), and "Muskox Pathways: Resources and Ecologies in Greenland" (Independent Research Fund Denmark) Read more about Muskox Pathways here
