Stillingsbeskrivelse

 I am Professor of feminist research at SKK with a background in musicology, media and literature studies, and music. I am currently working on intersectional feminist theory and sound/listening, including an intersectional critique of the politics of listening and the institutional conditions that determine whose listening practices are recognised as knowledge.

Research questions include:

• Who has historically been authorised to listen, interpret and produce knowledge?
• Which forms of listening are considered legitimate, by whom, and why/not?
• How have colonialism and patriarchy shaped ideas about sound, silence, noise and voice?
• When is listening a feminist, decolonial, transformative practice?

Moreover, I am focusing on feminist political ecology both through sound and more-than-human listening and more generally:

• Living and dying with environmental crises
• Heteropatriarchal causes of environmental crises
• Extractivism and industrial landscapes
• Indigenous and local environmental knowledges
• Gendered and racialised relations to place
• Bodies of waters
• Environmental violence and unequal exposure to sound/pollution/quitetude/silence
• More-than-human listening: animals, plants, geological processes and ecosystems
• Relationships between sensory experience, class, gender and public space
• The politics of public voice
• Who has the right to remain unheard?
• Sound, safety and belonging in public spaces

Other research interests are the materiality of AI and its gendered logics and implications.

I am a member of the Environmental humanities group, the Sustainability Academic Network (SUSAN), and the Nordic Soundscape Research Network (NSRN), and have served as a reviewer for a variety of journals (e.g. Tidsskrift for kjønnsforskning, Progress in Human Geography, Resistance: A Journal of Radical Environmental Humanities), and am a member of several Advisory Boards (currently WoVen).

 
Open to supervising PhD, master's, and bachelor's students.
