Research

I am concerned with sustainability, housing and cities. As an anthropologist I am especially interested in people’s everyday life, practices and relations - both to other people, to the city and to their built environment.

My research is focused among other things on sustainability and circular economy, on dwelling in cities and on things and time. Applying ethnographic methods, I am currently investigating everyday life, homemaking and dwelling in newly built urban housing in Amager (Copenhagen, Denmark). I am interested in understanding what characterises everyday life and dwelling in a new urban area in a time where (ideas about) sustainability and community are at the top of the agenda and shapes architecture and the built environment.
