I am a social/cultural anthropologist with an interest in local more-than-human relations, and how these are shaped by desires, histories, future imaginations and society. During this PhD, I apply this interest by mapping biodiversity and gaining a deeper understanding of the more-than-human relations in/around Dutch homes. Anthropological debates suggest that many forms of knowledge should be valued, opening doors to perceive relations and perspectives differently – which might conflict with hegemonic conceptions of social life. By applying multimodal ethnography, I will, together with research participants, explore ways to map relations between species, including the interactions, power dynamics and societal structures they are entangled with, aiming to improve our understanding of human-nonhuman co-existence and conflicts in home-making practices.
