Research Interests
At the crossroad of human geography and other social sciences, I am interested in understanding the social processes through which humans relate to oceans as environments and ‘produce’ them as spaces. I investigate this with special attention to how human-induced and framed environmental problems – in particular questions relating to the conservation of marine biodiversity – impact the ways in which oceans are known, used and governed. My work has looked at this in the offshore realm, in the context of debates around the protection of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. A key objective in my current research is to explore ‘ecologization’ processes that are making specific oceanic spaces known and subject to policy (change), as well as question any ‘tipping’ dynamics documented in such spaces, and their transfer into policy-making.
