Biography

Annika Pohl Harrisson is a social anthropologist at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in the intersections of borders, state-society relations, and interactions between people and environments. Her research focuses on the complexities of identity, justice, and security provision, exploring how citizenship and political dynamics shape state formation processes. Harrisson aims to deepen the understanding of socio-environmental systems and the factors influencing state-society interactions, with a particular emphasis on the roles of non-human lifeforms and environmental forces in political landscapes. Recently, she published an edited volume titled 'Fences Biosecurity: Politics Governing Unruly Nature', co-authored with Michael Eilenberg, highlighting themes in biosecurity and environmental governance. She actively engages in field research focused on the Flensburg Fjord and is concurrently working on various writing projects and research proposals centered around more-than-human actors, further linking issues such as border governance and human-animal relations.
