I am a PhD researcher in the Health, Care, and the Body Programme Group within the UvA Anthropology Department. My doctoral research is part of the ERC-funded VetValues Project, headed by PI Dr. Else Vogel, exploring how different values shape European farm veterinary care and its biopolitical projects.

My PhD project ethnographically examines the clashing and complementary values of Swedish pig and cattle farming through the goods produced by livestock veterinarians in Sweden. Informed by the empirics of care practices and valuation theories, I am interested in the processes of doing good and producing goods beyond food through veterinary care. I am particularly focused on how animal welfare regulations and cattle grazing regimes in Sweden (de)commodify landscapes by valuing different land use practices, and how the food safety and public health concerns shaping biosecurity measures in the pig industry also inform the multispecies biopolitics at the human-wildlife-livestock nexus.

Theoretically and methodologically, my research is inspired by an STS emphasis on the empirical study of materialities and practices, as well as an interest in the complex valuations and accountabilities in contemporary agri-food systems.
