Doctoral student

I am a PhD researcher in the VERSAM project, which explores the role of regional collaboration in achieving a fossil-free welfare society. I work under the supervision of Jenny Palm. The project is part of the national graduate school in Energy systems, which is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. My research will explore the practical, political and personal dimensions behind effective collaborative action. Based on a participatory action research methodology, my research aims to be co-productive and relevant to stakeholders and practitioners while advancing critical and interdisciplinary research for equitable, sustainable transformations
