Sophie Wennerscheid is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, where her work intersects literature, culture, and society. Her research focuses on how literary texts and other artworks depict human sensory and intellectual relationships to self, others, and the non-human world. Currently, she is exploring contemporary literature and film's representations of humans' connections to the biosphere and technosphere. Wennerscheid's project, 'Smag forandring', investigates the evolving perceptions of food, nature, and culture in Nordic literature, emphasizing socially and culturally conditioned norms around enjoyment and sustainability. She advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration and seeks to extend literary knowledge beyond academia. Her research interests also include eco-criticism, gender studies, media theory, and the ethical implications of identity concepts in the context of environmental sustainability. She has published works on topics ranging from technology and ecology to the philosophical underpinnings of Nordic literature, contributing significantly to the discourse on human and non-human relationships in the Anthropocene.
