Marcel’s research at the Swedish Defence University examines the role emotions and embodied experiences in war and preparations for war. Other research interests are military training and learning, human-machine integration, as well as how armed forces relate to environmental issues.

Before becoming a war studies scholar, Marcel published several political scientific publications that explored embodied experiences and emotions in democratic politics.
