Presentation

My current research interest regards cultural aspects of snow and winter in the light of global warming. The aim is to investigate how winter as a cultural phenomenon is understood and renegotiated in relation to climate change.

Currently I am analysing written answers from a questionnaire conducted in collaboration with the Swedish Folk Life Archive in Lund. The questions and themes for the questionnaire regards people’s memories of snow, thoughts and feelings regarding contemporary snow. Memory, meaning and materiality are the analytical themes that form the focus of the study.
