Ongoing research

I am a researcher in urban planning as well as local organization and governance, with an emphasis on new forms of organizing such as projects, experiments, and pilots, particularly in sustainable travel and so called smart mobility.

Grounded in critical innovation studies, my recent research explores how innovations are introduced and contested at the municipal level, and how questions on epistemic justice and public interest are negotiated.

I am currently (2025) leading two new projects on responsibility in innovation, one one resilience and epistemic justice in intermodal local travel and another on legitimacy in regulatory sandboxes. I am also on the research team for a project on navigating risk in testbed planning.

I serve on the boards of KEFU and Urban Arena, and am affiliated with K2 and CIRCLE, where I co-lead the theme on Public Sector Innovation.

I have taught at all levels of courses on Swedish politics and administration, normative theory and critical theory in a broad sense.
