Elizabeth Löwe Hunter is an independent researcher, educator and cultural analyst, based in Denmark. She also consults organisations on intersectional data analysis and communication, in the arts and education sectors. Previously, she taught anti-racist methods at UC Berkeley, where she also earned her PhD. She has a solid network across Berkeley, Paris University, Yale University and Columbia University.

In her work, she examines racialization, belonging, national memory and representation in Denmark, foregrounding Afrofeminist ethics of care. She has contributed important research on blackness in the Nordic region, situating it within the African diasporas, Afrofeminisms of Europe, and developing the notion Black racial isolation.

Her first-of-a-kind research – methodologically, theoretically, and empirically – challenges dominant exceptionalist discourses of a ‘post-racial’ and ‘raceless’ Denmark and Europe, aptly challenging the myth of Nordic Utopia and its failing promises of an equal society and a social safety net for all that leaves its own marginalized communities out of the conversation.

Through her research and her dedication to a decolonial Afrofeminist ethics of care, Löwe Hunter seeks to carve out space for Afropean experiences and perspectives in knowledge production. Löwe Hunter does not only write excellent academic papers and articles, she also engages in various educative efforts through podcast, social media, and other collective dissemination platforms.

In all this, Elizabeth Löwe Hunter contributes profoundly to establishing Afro Nordic Feminist thought in the Nordic region and beyond.
