Short presentation
My research focuses on climate related urban transition. How can grassroots initiatives contribute to mitigating the global warming? European radical right parties and their climate denial and resistance to immigration is another of my research interests. Yet another research field is inequality and discrimination at Swedish workplaces. Methods I use and write about include various kinds of text and discourse analysis. In some research projects, I have used interviews as well as mixed methods.
Keywords: inequality discrimination urban transition climate denial radical right parties textual analysis
In the research project Equal Workplaces, workplace inequality between women and men as well as between people from different parts of the world, were studied.
The research project GRIT – Grassroots Initiatives for Energy Transition studies the possibilities for grassroots initiatives to contribute to the transition to ways of living that mitigate the global warming.
The new project 'White skin, black fuel: Investigating the (anti-)climate politics of European right-wing populism' analysis the climate denial and racism of European radical right parties.
