Current Research and Teaching
My primary research interest is how transport and environmental issues are discursively constructed in politics and policies. I am analysing questions of power and language, especially in connection to over-arching ideas on sustainability, mobility and growth.
I defended my PhD thesis, "Between Growth and Sustainability: The Construction of Sustainble Mobility in Swedish Transport Policy" (2023), at Lund University and I am connected to the Swedish Knowledge Centre for Public Transport, K2.
I teach on the courses "The Police in Society" (2PO018) and "Political and Administrative Science" (5MH136).
Project
"What kind of transport-efficient society do we want to achieve? Visions, definitions, decissions and measures" together with LU, MU, K2 and Trivector (financed by The Swedish Energy Agency).
