I am Senior Lecturer in Human Rights Studies and Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy. My research addresses justice in climate transitions, with emphasis on local conflicts and intergenerational issues arising from energy and climate policy. I use an engaged approach that combines normative analysis and empirical methods within interdisciplinary collaborations, applying these to concrete cases such as disputes over wind‑power development and protests against fuel‑price policies.
I lead the JUSUMU project (Formas) and am co‑investigator of two major research projects including RE:LELA (Swedish Energy Agency, 2026–2030). I teach courses on human rights and supervise students at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels.
