Mads has received 3.150.000 SEK in support from VR for a post-doc project titled Myanmar’s energy landscapes and the politics of geography. The project examines struggles around expansions of energy infrastructure in the midst of competing state territorialization projects, contested capital accumulation and widespread dispossession of rural populations in Myanmar. Conceptually, the project draws on and seeks to contribute to debates across the fields of human geography, agrarian studies and political ecology.
