Anne-Sofie Belling
PhD Candidate
Anne-Sofie is a PhD candidate with the School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape at Newcastle University. She has a background in speculative, practice-based design research with published research on exploring the somaesthetics of posthuman relations with technology.
Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, she obtained a BSc in Digital Media and Design at the IT University of Copenhagen. Following the completion of her undergraduate, she went on to complete a MSc in Creative Technology from the University of the West of England.
Her research as a PhD candidate with the HBBE explores more-than-human stories within transplanetary imaginaries as a way of designing more equitable worlds that elicit relationships of care between human and nonhuman, regarding such relationships of care as essential to the process of sustaining life in space – as well as on Earth. Supervisors at the HBBE are Dr. Carmen McLeod and Dr. Martyn Dade-Robertson.
