Write, photograph, and research are some of the things I do. I have an academic background in primarily human geography (Master of Science, Bachelor of Science) and history of ideas (Bachelor of Arts). My research-related interests have mainly been linked to meaning-making practices during transformative geographical and social circumstances, with a specific focus on place-making, landscape interactions, and memory practices. Philosophy, visual anthropology, and political ecology are also among my interests.
