Personal profile
Short presentation
I'm a postdoc in the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies at the University of Copenhagen, currently on a 3-year fellowship, the first two of which are being spent at the Affective Societies Research Centre in FU Berlin. My project, 'The Politics and Affects of Doubt', is funded by Carlsberg Foundation. I have published multiple articles at the intersections of phenomenology, social ontology, and queer feminist philosophy, with a particular focus on issues surrounding normalisation, gender, sexuality, and group identity
