I am preparing my dissertation about plastic heritage. My research combines the historical and material aspects of plastics and other materials with posthuman approaches, and I study plastics in the museum context. 

My research is informed by posthuman ethnography and the concept of heritage assemblage. I consider the connections between places, materials and humans that participate in heritage assemblages. 

The research provides knowledge about the relationship between humans and plastics in museums. The results of my research can also be applied outside of the museums into questions about plastic durability in other cultural contexts.
