My research interests primarily concern Greenland and the Arctic, and span across a range of topics such as kinship, loneliness, and personhood, climate change, human-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 of two research projects: “Muskox Pathways: Resources and Ecologies in Greenland” funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark; and "Hunting Life: Explorations of Biosociality in Greenland" funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

"Muskox Pathways" involves anthropologists and archaeologists from the universities of Aalborg and Copenhagen as well as stakeholders in Greenland. The project explores the sporadic, but nonetheless deep, entanglements between natural environments and social forms that come into being through the muskox. The project is expected to complete in August 2023. Read more about Muskox Pathways here

"Hunting Life" explores hunting in Greenland as a biosocial category and 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
