Current projects

I’m currently working on my second book that analyses the rise, fall and afterlife of the cataclysmic ligature of modernity and fossil materialities like coal, oil, and gas.

Stranded Assets: Making and Managing Climate Risks in Finance
This research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) looks at the “pipelines” between fossil and financial capital and analyses attempts to govern financial risks associated with decarbonization.
