Kenneth Olwig

Kenneth Robert Olwig (born 1946) is an American-born landscape geographer, specializing in the study of the Scandinavian landscape. He is best known for advocating a "substantive" understanding landscape, one that incorporates legal and other lived significances of landscape, rather than viewing it in a more purely aesthetic way. His writings include '' The Meanings of Landscape: Essays on Place, Space, Nature and Justice'' (2019), ''Landscape, Nature and the Body Politic'' (2002) and ''Nature's Ideological Landscape'' (1984)

Olwig is a professor of landscape architecture at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp, Sweden, where he joined the faculty in 2002. He commutes to the university from Copenhagen, Denmark. He is married to anthropologist Karen Fog Olwig. Provided by Wikipedia
