Anna Krzywoszynska is an Associate Professor in Transdisciplinary Human-Environment Relations at the department of Anthropology at the University of Oulu, Finland. She is an interdisciplinary environmental social scientist with expertise in agricultural and environmental knowledge, more-than-human research, and public participation in science.

Her current research interests include human-soil relations and knowledge systems, the co-production of soil knowledge between science and society, and the role of local food systems in achieving socio-environmental justice. She contributes to debates in the interdisciplinary fields of Anthropocene studies and more-than-human scholarship, most recently in relation to care, labor, and relationality. She has published widely in the fields of science and technology studies, environmental humanities, and human geography.
Anna is currently a Co-Chair of the International Union of Soil Science’s Commission 4.5 : Soil Humanities and Social Sciences, a Board Member of the Horizon Europe Mission Soil Deal for Europe, and an Associate Editor of the journal Environmental Humanities.
