Nikolaj Schultz (DK) is PhD Fellow at Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen, and will later this year take of a position as TT Assistant Professor of Social Theory and Ecological Theory at Aarhus School of Architecture

Schultz was a close collaborator of late French philosopher Bruno Latour (1947-2022) in the years before his passing. In 2022, Schultz and Latour co-authored On the Emergence of an Ecological Class. A Memo (Polity Books, 2023), a short text on how to construct from below a strong political subject ready to fight for the habitability of the planet in the wake of global climate change. A year after its publication, the book was translated in more than a dozen languages and quickly became a point of inspiration for political actors such as the Green Party in France (EELV) and the German Climate Movement. Later the same year, Schultz published Land Sickness (Polity Books, 2023), currently translated into seven languages, a hybrid text that he calls an “auto-etnografictive essay” on the sociological and existential questions that the Anthropocene force us to pose.
