Daniel’s recent research falls into discard studies and builds methodologically upon ethnography and garbology. His interests include economics and politics of waste, ethics in waste management, multispecies encounters with waste, and resource use. His regional expertise is in Central Europe.

Daniel taught courses at the University of West Bohemia (14 years), Charles, Florida State, and Masaryk Universities. He currently works as a researcher and serves as Deputy director and Chair of the board at the Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.
