Vesa Markuksela is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lapland, whose work encourages us to rethink the boundaries between nature and humans. Blurring the lines between organizational studies, marketing, and tourism, his research is a journey into the sensory worlds we share with non-human beings. From the silent depths of waterscapes to the rugged rhythms of mountain biking trails, he explores how these environments shape multispecies connections. Markuksela's work is driven by a fascination with how we communicate beyond words—how beings, human and more-than-human, engage through senses, creating worlds together. His recent mountain biking and trail-building explorations offer fresh insights into the intricate dance of multispecies collaboration. Ultimately, his research seeks to uncover the often-overlooked connections that pulse through our shared existence, inviting us to imagine new ways of being in relation to the world.
