Associate Professor Johanne Stubbe Teglbjærg Kristensen

Johanne is a theologian with an explicitly contemporary perspective on European Christian self-understanding in its relation to current historical, societal, and existential challenges. She has developed theology in a direction informed by phenomenology and psychoanalysis and has contributed with her knowledge of hidden in-between issues. In 2021, she started the Center for the Study of Paradoxes. She has been a voice in the critique of contemporary unilateral approaches to health and obesity, and of reductive approaches to eco-theology and green transition. 

Professor Liza Rosenbaum Nielsen

Liza is a veterinary epidemiologist with a broad systems perspective on livestock-based food production. She has contributed to the development of systematic approaches to prevention and control of animal and zoonotic diseases as well as antimicrobial resistance based on population biology and production system-oriented research. Over the years her research has become increasingly more interdisciplinary, and the methods more qualitative. She is currently involved in a transdisciplinary research project with anthropologists, an animal scientist and an educational researcher. This has evoked new reflections about researcher dilemmas in the field of One Health and sustainability.
