Forskningsinteresser

I'm a philosopher and social theorist interested in understanding how human social systems and (non-human) natural systems evolve and interact. In particular related to the climate- and biodiversity breakdown and how theory and practice can and should feed of each other in this respect. I'm specialized in environmental sociology and politics, the ecofeminist tradition, critical theory and Marxism, and modern German philosophy (Kant, German Idealism, Early German Romanticism). 

My research concerns the many ways in which the planetary crises are related to questions of values, power, capitalism, basic (anthropocentric) world-views, patriarchy, moral judgement, growth-regimes, and symbolic structures. It also concerns how to imagine and prefigure alternative and common ecological futures, and how to mobilize and organize such futures in the present.

Besides having edited four books in Danish on the climate crisis from social and human scientific, activist, and artistic perspectives – Økofuturismer (2025), En anden økologi (2025), Jordskred: Bidrag til den nye naturtænkning (2024) Planetære frakturer (2022) – my work has been published in Environmental Humanities, The Review of Metaphysics, Open Philosophy, British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, Schelling-Studien, South African Journal of Philosophy, Northern European Journal of Philosophy, Slagmark, and The Danish Yearbook of Philosophy. I also do public dissemination by writing texts for outlets like Information, Eftertryk, Turbulens, Paradoks, and Solidaritet. 

I'm a founder and editor of the Danish online philosophy journal Paradoks and a member of Centre for Environmental Humantities (AU), New Voices on Women in the History of Philosophy, The Green Network for Researchers, and International Society for Environmental Ethics. I also peer-review for Inquiry, British Journal for the History of Philosophy, Danish Yearbook of Philosophy, and Slagmark.

Current research

My postdoc-project Concepts in Action: The Borderlands of Environmental Theory and Practice is a part of the SDU Climate Cluster-project PACA (Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action). The project maps post-anthropocentric and post-growth theories and actors in order to outline political and cultural strategies for building ecological futures and classes, with a particular focus on Danish radical grassroots actors such as climate justice activists, eco-villages, and regenerative farming projects.

I'm also working on completing a book manuscript based on my PhD-dissertation about the history of ecological thinking.
