Research
My thesis research focuses on consumption and material culture from a climate historical perspective. Through exploring the material culture of urban households ca. 1400–1720, the thesis aims to trace changes in everyday practices of the townspeople who had to deal with the challenges of climate change during the Little Ice Age.
