Personal profile

Research

I am Senior Lecturer in Human Rights Studies and Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy, specialising in justice in climate transitions. My research develops an engaged normative approach that combines conceptual analysis with empirical case studies and participatory methods to examine how fair pathways to a fossil‑free society can be designed and implemented locally and across generations. I lead the Formas‑funded JUSUMU project (A Just Transition to a Sustainable Municipality, 2024–2026, SEK 3.7M) and am co‑investigator on the Swedish Energy Agency‑funded RE:LELA project (Justice as Reciprocity: Just Energy Transitions for a Vibrant Countryside, 2026–2030, SEK 11.5M), and I contribute to other multi‑partner projects – often collaborating with non‑academic actors such as municipalities and trade unions. My work has been published in, among others, The Oxford Handbook of Intergenerational Ethics, Journal of Political Philosophy, Energy Research & Social Science, Environmental Politics and PLOS Climate. I was a visiting research fellow at LSE’s Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science from 2015 to 2017. ORCID: 0000-0001-6671-3802.
