Jenny Carey Mikkelsen is a doctoral student in Archaeology at Lund University, researching the ‘bog body phenomenon’ at the intersections of archaeology, environmental humanities, critical plant studies and more-than-human/posthumanism. Her research explores topics like the creation and perpetuation of narratives, the portrayal of these remains as a specific phenomenon, the perception of the bog and the human-bog relationship through time, and the centring of the human and the human body in general. Jenny is interested in exploring the idea of a ‘brown’ humanities, or critical peat/bog studies, and what an anthropo(de)centric approach to the bog body phenomenon could look like in practice, in an inherently anthropocentric discipline.
