Personal profile
Research
I am broadly interested in the attempt to develop future-proof solutions to the large-scale challenges of the 21st century. I study the plans and visions to develop floating cities to nuance how watertech is central to past and present ideas about socio-environmental relations. I draw on ethnographic fieldwork and historical material to nuance how primarily Dutch hydro-tech developers devise floating technology as a pragmatic tool to curtail hyper-abstract global stressors such as sea level rise, urban population growth, and land scarcity.
