Anne is a third-year PhD candidate at the School of Art History/ University of St Andrews. In her doctoral research, she works with the term “Anthropocene Mobilities” to address the intersection of travel, mobility, and ecological crises in contemporary art. Specifically, she focuses on a selection of four artists born after 1980. The project’s approach is primarily guided by discourses within the environmental humanities and positions itself within the newly emerging field of ecocritical art history.
Within and out with her research, she is particularly interested in ecocritical ways of writing art’s histories, environmental history, concepts of nature as well as human-and-more-than-human relationships, post-growth, slow living and holistic approaches to art and life. Alongside her PhD, she explores those themes and questions in “Looking North: Alternative Approaches to Landscape and Energy Ethics in Scotland”. Stretching over eight events, Looking North invites four artists and four authors/scholars to reflect critically upon concepts of landscape, nature, and energy within a Scottish context. Additionally, there will be an in-person videoart screening and Q&A in St Andrews.
Anne is also a member of the Association for Art History’s DECR Board and was awarded the 2023 EARTH Scholarship by the British Council Scotland and SGSAH.
