Primary fields of research

 

Presently, my research interest is oriented towards the interface between nature, ethics, politics and religion in Danish/Nordic contexts.

In the coming years I will work on ecological ethics in connection with the research project CARNAL: Eco-Ethical Articulations of Body, Meat, and Flesh.

In 2018 to 2022 I was the principal investigator of the research project Enchanted Ecologies in Scandinavia.

Since 1992 I have been working with the anthropology of religion the context of the Danish state church Folkekirken. Fieldwork was carried out in relation to death rituals and other rites of passage, everyday teology and the education of vicars. The analytical themes were social ontology, communication, complexity and the relation between the secular and religious.

Since 2005 my research interest also comprised Christianity in Polynesia. Based on fieldwork on Rarotonga, the main island in the Cook Islands, focus shifted in 2009 to the local responses to climate change.
