Biography
I am an anthropologist specialising in migration and multispecies ethnography.
I have been working as a grant researcher at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, Finland on a PhD project funded by the Kone Foundation "Forest Bites: Immigrants' Perspectives on Forests, Ticks and Climate Change." since August 2022. My research explores the perspectives that immigrants bring to the understanding of forests, tick-related concerns, and broader implications of climate change in Finland.
I hold a master's degree in cultural ethnology and anthropology from the University of Warsaw, Poland based on a project "Facing the Moss – embodied experiences in Finnish forests and conceptualisation of nature.", which I realised from 2019 to 2021. I am particularly interested in environmental anthropology, the anthropology of migration, and the notions of imagination and disgust. In my fieldwork practice, I use multispecies ethnography and experimental art methods.
Research interests
Currently, I am working on a project "Forest Bites: Immigrants' Perspectives on Forests, Ticks and Climate Change.". In my research, I use in-depth ethnographic interviews, participant observation, forest walks and artistic experiments.
