Biography

Michael Schnegg is a professor at the Institute of Ethnology, University of Hamburg, focusing on phenomenological anthropology, rural life, and the impacts of climate change on human emotions and societal structures. His ethnographic work examines how climate change alters perceptions and experiences of rural environments, especially in Africa and Latin America. He collaborates with philosophers to integrate phenomenological approaches into anthropology and is a co-organizer of the 'Hamburg Symposium on Philosophy and Anthropology'. His recent publications include studies on collective loneliness, cultural responses to climate change, and the philosophical dimensions of ethnographic practices. He has led multiple research projects exploring community governance, food sharing practices, and social networks in ecological contexts. His contributions situate anthropology within contemporary debates on environmental justice and the socio-political dynamics of climate adaptation.
