About the person
Tülin Fidan is an anthropologist focusing on maritime human-environment and multi-species relations and Science and Technology Studies (STS). In the REMARCO project she is ethnographically researching how people living on the North Sea coast deal with the dumped munitions and toxic legacies of the Second World War.
Her ethnographic Master’s thesis explored the knowledge production around wave buoys in the North Sea, which, in the context of storm surges and rising sea levels, help to maintain the infrastructure of the low-lying North Sea coast and thus make coastal life possible.
