Personal profile

Research

My PhD project explores how narratives associated with avoiding air travel for climate change reasons have emerged, evolved, and spread in Sweden during the last years. I focus particularly on the rise of a social movement to reduce flying and its role in the transition to a sustainable society. The aim with my research is to enhance the understanding for how this form of collective mobilization around low-carbon ways of living challenges high-carbon norms and practices and enables social and cultural change.
