I am a postdoctoral researcher in the environmental humanities with a background in comparative literary and cultural studies. My research looks at practices and imaginaries of gathering, archiving and the sharing of edible plants and their seeds as a means of safeguarding biodiversity and preventing plant species loss. Inspired by the importance of diversity for food justice and human and environmental health, my focus lies with crops for (human) consumption.
My PhD research focused on insect declines, storytelling and engagement, and questions of care and (in)attention when it comes to wildlife extinction.
