My name is Mathilda Rosengren.
I am a visual anthropologist and urban geographer with a particular interest in more-than-human entanglements, ecologies, and ethnographies.
I hold a BA in anthropology and media (2010, Goldsmiths, University of London, U.K.) and an MA in visual and media anthropology (2014, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany).
I completed my PhD in Geography at the University of Cambridge, U.K. in 2020, where I explored the relation between notions of "living with difference", spontaneous urban nature, and official urban planning in Berlin and Gothenburg. Most recently, I was a postdoctoral researcher on the project “Revisiting allmänningar & stråk. Spatial justice in the 21st century urban-rural land regime” at the Institute for Urban Research, Malmö University.
During the academic year of 2021-22, I organised the workshop series "Temporalities of urban natures: imaginaries, narratives, and practices" together with Dr Lucilla Barchetta, Ca' Foscari University of Venice. This series was funded by an award from the Urban Studies Foundation.
Between 2026 and 2029, I am the PI on the project "The Anthropocene City: multispecies stories of climate challenges in the Öresund region" at the Institute for Urban Research, Malmö University. The project is funded by a Formas Career Grant for Early-career Researchers.
