Carl Olsson is a writer and theorist working with histories and philosophies of science and geography. His current project narrates the natural history of naturalism as a story about self-effacement, like a mouth that is destined to eat itself up. Lasting interests include self-effacement, philosophical naturalism, and transcendental arguments. Olsson has an MSc from Lund University, is currently finishing a Ph.D. in human geography at Newcastle University, and is a researcher at The New Centre for Research & Practice. He contributed to the second cycle of The Terraforming at Strelka Institute and has been a visiting scholar at Waseda University.
