I am Associate Professor in Ethics and I have led and participated in several interdisciplinary research project on ecological sustainability and ethics. From 2014-2017 I was the principal investigator (PI) of the project “Energy and Justice: an ethical analysis of Swedish energy politics”. From 2020-2023 I was the PI of the project Energy scenarios and justice – a case study of Sweden, financed by the Swedish Energy Agency. The aim of the project was to develop methods for including justice considerations in connection with the assessment of energy scenarios. Currently, I am the PI of the project “Value conflicts within urban biodiversity management – case studies of Swedish municipalities”, financed by Formas for the period 2022-2024. The project studies how the value of urban biodiversity is perceived by civil servants and politicians in four Swedish cities: Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö and Umeå. In addition, the project discusses how value conflicts can be analysed and handled from different theoretical perspectives. I am also working within the project “Climate transitions in interaction” which is a collaboration between Malmö University, Malmö City and the NGO “HÅLLPUNKT”, financed by VINNOVA for the year 2025. My main research interests are the moral relationship to non-human beings in urban and non-urban contexts, and questions of interhuman justice, especially connected to climate change, and energy production and consumption.
