My research lies in the areas of degrowth and critical organisation studies. It addresses contemporary crises and explores paths for socio-ecological transformation. 

I have been writing on corporate violence, problems with work/employability and the plastic crisis, on the one hand, and focusing on degrowth as a vision for transformation, its political economy, and alternative models of work and organising, on the other.

With scholars and activists from Degrowth Vienna, I co-edited Degrowth & Strategy: How to bring about social-ecological transformation (MayFly, 2022, open access). I also co-edited Towards a Political Economy of Degrowth (Rowman & Littlefield, 2019), together with Alexander Paulsson and Stefania Barca.

I am currently leading a research project Plastics in a circular society: Alternative organising beyond resource efficiency (funded by Formas, Dec 2021-Dec 2025), together with Jacob Hasselbalch, Johannes Stripple and Carolyn Deere Birkbeck. It is devoted to alternative organising initiatives targeting unsustainable plastic practices.

Since 2012 I have been a member of the editorial collective of ephemera: theory & politics in organization – an independent open access journal. Since 2025 I have been an associate editor of Organization.

In 2017-2020 I was involved in coordination and communication of a Horizon 2020 project REINVENT, which was devoted to decarbonisation of plastics, paper, steel and meat&dairy sectors. 

I co-organised the 6th International Degrowth Conference for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity in Malmö, Sweden (21-25 August 2018), which attracted 800 participants from across the globe.

BSc in Economics and Management (LSE, 2008)

I have taught undergraduate, masters and research students in the areas of sustainability studies, organisation studies and strategic communication.

I am co-coordinating (with Max Koch) an X-course 'Degrowth and socio-ecological transformation', supported by EduLab, which will take place in Autumn 2025.

At Environmental and Energy Systems Studies division (Technology & Society, LTH), I am co-coordinating the course 'Environmental Issues, Project Course' (with Nelly Garcia Gonzalez), and have earlier co-coordinated 'Climate, Science and Politics' (with Lars J Nilsson). 

I also co-coordinated (with Mine Islar) the 'Degrowth and sustainability pathways' course at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School (PhD level, Spring 2024) and 'Social Sciences and Sustainability' course at LUCSUS (master's level, Fall 2023). I regularly supervise students on the topics of alternative organising, degrowth and sustainability.

Outside Lund University, I am involved in the online master's programme on degrowth organised by the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Research & Degrowth, where I run a course 'Strategies and organisation for degrowth' (part of the module 'Policies and politics for degrowth' coordinated by Claudio Cattaneo). 

I regularly give guest lectures on degrowth at Lund University, in Sweden and internationally. Copenhagen University, University of Granada, University of Vienna, University of Parma, Freie Universität Berlin, and Uppsala University are some of the places where I've engaged with students on degrowth.
