Biography
I am a doctoral researcher in Landscape Studies at the University of Turku, funded through the JUNO Doctoral Programme in the Humanities. My research examines plastic waste, particularly micro- and nanoplastics, in Nordic urban environments. My dissertation, Plastic Waste Entanglements: Sensory Encounters in the Urbanscape of Turku, explores what it means to inhabit cities where plastic is ubiquitous yet largely imperceptible, and how embodied and speculative forms of inquiry can engage environmental phenomena that remain difficult to perceive directly.
