Research summary
Sonder, noun: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.
Human connection occuring spontaneously accross unpredictable events and everyday life situations.
Current research interests
My current research focuses on social behaviour in emergencies and disasters with a slight leaning towards man-made, sudden-impact incidents.
Whether natural or man-made, many emergencies and sudden-impact disasters occur in crowded environments, where the way people act and react can mean the difference between a life saved and a life lost. This makes the understanding of social behaviours during emergencies and disasters crucial.
Past research interests
I have a BSc and MSc in anthropology where I have especially focused on social exchange and the cultural dimensions and manifestations behind social bonds. My background in social and cultural anthropology has provided me a holistic approach to understanding complex behaviours in entangled social contexts.
