Elisabeth Schubiger is a social anthropologist at the University of Fribourg. Her research examines how small-scale hydropower plants in Bernese Alps are maintained across generations and the role of commons, local knowledge, and social networks in this process. She aims to contribute to a better understanding of sustainable transformations and explore ways to navigate trade-offs. Schubiger studied social anthropology and art history in Bern and obtained her PhD from the Graduate Institute in Geneva in 2024.
