Personal profile

Research

I study the complexity of governance through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships and the material/discursive context in which the implementation processes of the SDGs play out.

My PhD project concerns the implementation practices of Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships in local partnership activities and projects. I seek to understand processes of knowledge production and dissemination in different contexts where the interplay between humans, non-humans, technologies, and nature produces specific forms of knowledge constellations. The aim is to highlight the relations between various forms of knowledge performed in learning and implementation processes and the strategies to navigate them. Furthermore, by providing a different account of agency through taking seriously the material and the non-human, I hope to make different imaginaries of the future possible and open a discussion on what a just transformation to a sustainable future looks like. This in turn may strengthen the legitimacy of the very existence of partnerships as a primary tool for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

Previously, I have conducted research and field work for my master thesis on private sector partnership programmes for development in Nepal.
