Kort presentation

Min forskning handlar om restorativa miljöer, där vi kan återhämta oss relativt snabbt när vi är stressade och mentalt trötta. De platser jag fokuserar på i min forskning är sådana som många bryr sig om – hemmet, grannskapet och naturen. Min grundläggande drivkraft är att främja hälsa och välbefinnande bland människor samt skydd av biologisk mångfald.

Nyckelord

  • sustainable development
  • hållbar stadsutveckling

Biografi

I have studied restorative environments and nature experience since the early 1980s. After moving from Michigan to California, I completed degrees at Orange Coast College (AA, 1982), the University of California at Santa Cruz (BA, 1984), the University of California at Irvine (MA, 1990; PhD, 1993), and the University of California at Berkeley (MPH, 1994). I began work at Uppsala University after completing postdoctoral training at Berkeley in 1996. Once here I added the residential context of health to the set of topics on which to focus research efforts, which today encompass work and institutional as well as leisure and residential settings. With training in environmental psychology, social ecology, and social epidemiology, I apply diverse theoretical perspectives and methodological tools in formulating and addressing research questions. This has enabled me to get involved with studies of widely varying kind, including but not limited to theoretical analyses, literature reviews, small-scale laboratory and field experiments concerned with basic issues of restorative process and mechanism, large-scale surveys on attitudes toward nature and environmental protection, and time series studies on phenomena of constrained and collective restoration in entire populations. In much of this work I have over the years had the privilege and pleasure of collaborating with thoughtful, dedicated scholars from leading universities and research institutes throughout the world.

Ongoing Projects:

The residential context of health

Cities that sustain us

Urban nature and public health

Environmental attitudes and ecological behaviour

Environmental Influences on psychological restoration processes

Wolves, wild boars and other wildlife: Cultural ecosystem services and disservices for people’s recreation and well-being
