Sonja Åman is an interdisciplinary scholar of environmental humanities, working in the intersections of environmental history, political ecology and environmental anthropology. Her doctoral work focused on the history and politics of Indigenous whaling practice. Currently, she is leading the Scales of change: Herring migration and fluctuating life in the Northern fjords project which seeks to understand how the unpredictable migration patterns of Norwegian spring-spawning herring are culturally understood and politically governed, and what can the fluctuating environmental relations in the Arctic tell us about the resilience and changing multispecies relationalities in the Anthropocene.
