Postdoctoral Researcher

Anna Ulrikke Andersen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the AHRC funded Disobedient Buildings project. In her work as an architectural historian and filmmaker, she is interested in the way film could be used as a method to explore our built environment and our experiences thereof, with a specific fascination for windows, trains, translation, phenomenology, and more recently chronic illness. She holds a PhD in Architectural Design from The Bartlett School of Architecture (2019), where her thesis titled "Ten Windows Following Christian Norberg-Schulz: framing, mobility and self-reflection explored through the fenestral essay film" looks at the window in the life and work of the Norwegian architectural theorist Christian Norberg-Schulz adopting a practice-led method of filmmaking. Her previous Postdoctoral experience includes a 2018/2019 Fellowship at the Harvard Film Study Center and a Visiting Scholarship at Vanderbilt University (2019).
