Main research areas
- Sustainability and sustainable transitions
- Sociology of knowledge
Current research
The primary focus of my research is to develop our understanding of the mechanisms by which socio-technical systems (e.g. industries) and their respective knowledge bases erode and/or go extinct leaving space for other knowledges and systems (“destruction for creation”). In doing so, I draw on the sociology of knowledge, innovation and sustainable transitions literature as well as institutional theory. My research project is part of the European Research Council-funded project ENDINGs led by Lea Fünfschilling.
Background
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Development Studies and a masters degree in sociology, both from Lund University, where I have particularly delved into sustainability and climate change. Prior to embarking on my research project I worked for almost two years as a sustainability consultant at KPMG, and prior to that I worked for two years at the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) with sustainable investing, credit guarantees and innovation funds.
