Research

Drawing on political ecology, political geography and landscape geography, I am involved in research on the labour movement’s production of nature (Formas 2020-02185), and the environmental history of miljonprogram suburbs (Energimyndigheten 2023-1485).

I have previously researched future visions and research environments within “cellular agriculture" (Formas 2013-1510), the redevelopment of Norra Sorgenfri in Malmö (Formas 2018-0074) the history of the People’s Parks (VR 2018-1283).
