I work on environmental governance and different ways to relate to nature, including ways of being entangled with different environmental features or elements. I particularly focus on how these dynamics play out in conflictive contexts. I try to understand how we can live with dissensus – sometimes resolving it, sometimes acknowledging the power dynamics it entails, and sometimes by just recognizing that it exists – against polarization.
I specialize on water and coastal governance, and I use a variety of methods, that I sometimes combine. They include interviews, focus groups and network analysis, together with arts-based methods, namely theatre, drawing and co-producued workshops, such as scenario visioning workshops. This allows me to explore different aspects of the relations at play in conflicts, including affective processes. As part of my work at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, I co-lead a research theme that focuses on ”the how” of conducing research in sustainability science, including its links to action and change.
Born: 1984
Interests: I enjoy being outdoors, reading and writing, as well as art.
Other: I have lived in ten different countries and try to maintain relationships with friends in all of them, which sometimes makes me mix up languages and create words, until someone points it out to me! Besides research, I enjoy writing fiction.
Being a part of the Young Academy of Sweden is for me a way to contribute to building a collective voice for researchers and having it heard. It is also a way to jointly listen to different social groups, including those who feel far removed from academia, and bringing research closer to them.
