\n\t\t\t

As a journalist, author, and futurist, I combine research, analysis, and narrative journalism.<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m interested in the questions behind the headlines, the stories behind major developments, and the future already taking shape within them.<\/h3>\n

We live in a time when so much is changing at once. Technologies, political systems, societies, and landscapes \u2014 and with them, our ideas of what the futures might look like.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m interested in the stories behind these changes.<\/p>\n

I research and write about the forces shaping our present and defining our future. I look for connections, contradictions, and the people through whom broader developments come into focus.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, it becomes a book. Sometimes, an essay or a feature story. Or a story that can only be understood by being there.<\/p>\n

Always, it comes down to the same thing: looking closer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Journalism.<\/h3>\n

I write about political and social developments, questions about the future, and the dynamics shaping our world.<\/p>\n

To do so, I often report from the places where these changes unfold: talking to people, exploring specific locations, and observing developments firsthand.<\/p>\n

This work takes different forms, from political analysis and essays to reportage, interviews, and long-form features.<\/p>\n

Whether Greenland, social change, or the big questions shaping our future, I\u2019m always interested in looking beyond the surface.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t
