Lukáš works at the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Since his master’s studies, he has been focusing on multi-species ethnography. He explores social processes involving humans, animals, microorganisms, plants, and landscape elements, examining the complex more-than-human ecologies and economies they shape. His dissertation research centered on mushroom foraging in the Czech Republic, with an emphasis on non-market exchange practices, food self-sufficiency practices, and the associated environmental ethics. He works to popularize
insights from these areas through collaborations with visual artists and by writing popular science articles.
