Stillingsbeskrivelse

I am a professor of feminist research at SKK with a background in musicology, media and literature studies, and music. I am developing an intersectional feminist critique of sexism, racism, and extractivism through the politics of listening and the institutional conditions that determine whose practices of listening and sounding are recognised as knowledge and whose are not, while exploring how listening might open up possibilities for otherwise futures.

Research questions include:

• Who has historically been authorised and who has been forced to listen?
• Who had authority to interpret and produce knowledge?
• Which forms of listening or sounding 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
• Natureculture listening / interspecies listening: listening with animals, plants, geophonies, 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 include the materiality of AI, its gendered logics and implications, and artistic research.

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 have been a member of several Advisory Boards (currently WoVen).

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