My doctoral project focuses on children's independent mobility during dark hours and the role of outdoor lighting for their mobility. By studying children (ages 10–13) and their parents in three Swedish cities at different latitudes, I explore how darkness and outdoor lighting affect children's experiences, emotions, and ability to move outdoors across different seasons and times of the day.
With a background as a gardener specialized in health and design (bachelor's degree in biology, master's degree in landscape architecture), I have a particular interest in how people experience, use, and are affected by outdoor environments, as well as how these environments can be designed to promote health and well-being. Before my doctoral studies, I worked as a research assistant and university lecturer in environmental psychology at SLU in Alnarp, where I primarily taught in the Outdoor Environments for Health and Well-being master’s programme and participated in research projects on sustainable play environments for children.
I am open to teaching and supervision related to environmental psychology, particularly with a focus on children and young people. Feel free to contact me via email if you would like to learn more about my project or discuss potential collaborations.
