I am a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Social Anthropology for the period 2022-2026. I received my DPhil from the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at University of Oxford in March 2022.

As part of the Anthropologies of Sustainability research group, I work on developing a series of publications and a new research project around property relations and emerging forms of welfare. I also organise the weekly departmental "writing anthropology" workshop and have convened the departmental seminar series with PhD master classes.

An anthropologist of East Africa, I have a particular interest in cultures of insurance and welfare and their associations to property, value, and urbanism. My fieldwork has mainly been in Tanzania, focusing on the financing of public assets and urban infrastructure and its connection to providential practises.

Background

Prior to my current position in Trondheim, I was a tutorial teaching fellow for the Anthropology of Africa (2019) as well as the anthropology papers in the Human Sciences programme (2018-2022) at the University of Oxford.

Throughout 2022 I was a postdoctoral fellow within the PEAK Urban programme, based at COMPAS, University of Oxford, organising the Oxford Network for the Future of Cities activities and PEAK Urban research outcomes. Before joining Oxford, I held the position as adjunct lecturer in the Department of Cultural Geography at University of Stockholm. I have also worked extensively with curation of art and architecture in different context and institutions.
