What is Anthropology?
Now that all sounds intriguing... but how can anthropologists actually make contributions to society?
​
Anthropologists can be thought of like a knowledge bridge; We make sense of complex problems and events in our societies where quantitative science fails to see connections. In my own research, I have for instance explored the following questions:
-
How do the actions of energy industry leaders of influence climate mitigation efforts?
-
Can elite business networks accelerate energy transitions
Understanding these topics is crucial in our pursuit of carbon neutral energy futures.

You may ask 100 different anthropologists, and they will provide you with 100 alternative definitions of anthropology. ​Here is how I explain our discipline:
Anthropologists provide nuanced and reflective understandings of complex social phenomena. In simpler terms: We try to make sense of the world by better understanding the humans that have created it.
