Current research

My current project is situated in the cross-university programme MISTRA Sustainable Consumption. The aim of the project is to understand how sustainability is interpreted, used and communicated within initiatives aiming to influence or facilitate sustainable consumption patterns, specifically within tourism/leisure, as well as food.
 
My previous research has focused on community initiatives for waste reduction, alternative organisational formats for sustainability, and impacts of Covid-19 on sustainable travelling. I hold a PhD in environmental social science from University of East Anglia, UK.
