Current research
My PhD project aims to explore how individuals act under conditions of uncertainty – and how disruptions and change, specifically climate change, are navigated. What practices are employed to make sense of the uncertain and fairly unknown character of extreme weather events? And what roles do nonhumans play in this sensemaking? To do this, I zoom in on the garden as a space of durability, where humans, nonhumans, the private, the public and multiple temporalities co-mingle. My geographical focus is privately owned plots of land in southern Sweden, in which I conduct go-along interviews to observe individual behaviour in the messiness of garden lives (deaths, and afterlives).
Background
