Addressing more-than-human energy inequalities in the Finnish North

This project analyses the impact of energy transition on human–landscape relations in Northern Finland. It primarily focuses on digital ethnography, particularly the analysis of wind-power opposition groups on Finnish-language social media. In addition, the project employs visual and sensory ethnographic methods.
