I am a historian focusing on human-animal and human-plant studies as well as environmental history. I am currently leading a HumBio-project (the whole name of the project is "Disappeared, Endangered and Newly Arrived Species: The Human Relationship with the Changing Biodiversity of the Baltic Sea") (see project link below).
