The central focus of my research is on the socio-technical character of water in urban regions. I am particularly interested in the transformations needed to make water in cities more sustainable and how this relates to different actors in society.

Imagine Action

Imagination as a tool for climate action: towards preparedness in the Swedish water sector, ImagineAction

The Swedish water sector needs transformation to meet the rapidly changing climate, but despite overwhelming evidence, adaptation is currently not happening fast enough. The problem is not primarily about lack of knowledge, but lack of imagination.

Technology and Social Change (TEMAT)

So much of our lives depend on technology. The development and use of technology creates possibilities as well as social, ethical and political dilemmas. That’s what we study at Tema T – Technology and Social Change.
