I am a researcher, writer and consultant based between Oxford, UK, and Aarhus, Denmark.

In my academic practice, I explore the synergies between neuroscience, literature and contemplative traditions and work to establish consciousness research as an interdisciplinary field with a strong ethical and existential dimension.

In my critical-journalistic work, I focus on the value of art and literature in society and their connection to philosophy and science and on philosophical and ethical issues related to neurocentrism, posthumanism, anti-anthropocentrism and biocentrism.

I am also engaged in a continuous personal phenomenological investigation of consciousness through meditation and other mind-altering methods.

My approach to culture, consciousness, ethics and existence is interdisciplinary, experimental and hermeneutically attuned. I view literature and philosophy as part of a broad field of ideas connected to general movements in society and culture, inextricably entangled with politics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology and science.

I hold research fellowships at the University of Oxford and Aarhus University and work as a literary and philosophical consultant and meditation guide.

Born and raised in Denmark and spending my first student years in Copenhagen, I have since lived, studied and worked in Berlin, London, Tijuana, San Francisco, Melbourne and Oxford.
