Steffen Jensen

Steffen Jensen is a Professor at Aalborg University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, leading ERC Advanced Grant project CONFINED. His research investigates intersections of forced displacement, climate change, and incarceration, employing ethnographic methods across global contexts.

Jensen's CONFINED project examines how urban marginality, displacement, and incarceration produce 'confined lives' in Denmark/Lebanon, South Africa/Malawi, and other regions. He co-led the H2020 LINKS project on disaster resilience, focusing on social media's role in crisis governance and vulnerable populations.
