Current research
My research interests are situated within the fields of critical animal studies and more-than-human law. Based on qualitative and socio-historical analysis, I explore various aspects of human/animal relationships related to the subject of animal law, meat-eating, and human attitudes towards nature.
My doctoral research focusses on animal protection and conservation policies in light of the current ecological crisis with a particular focus on the impact of large-scale animal production.
I am a member of the Lund University Critical Animal Studies Network (LUCASN). The network aims to act as a platform and an interdisciplinary hub at Lund University for scholars and students interested in Critical Animal Studies. For more information about the network, see www.kom.lu.se/lucasn.
