I am an anthropologist specialising in migration and multispecies ethnography.
I have been working as a grant researcher at the University of Jyväskylä, 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 understanding forests, tick-related concerns, and the 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 titled Facing the Moss – embodied experiences in Finnish forests and the conceptualisation of nature, which I carried out 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.
In my research, I use in-depth ethnographic interviews, participant observation, forest walks and artistic experiments. I am particularly interested in unwanted non-human others, multispecies ethics, and parasites as a lens for studying multispecies migrations, both geographically and vertically, across species and organisms.
