About

CV

I teach and supervise students in urban geography, planning and landscape studies. My research engages with people-place and people-nature relationships, by empirically exploring various urban neighbourhoods and environments.

Much of my research has focused on the Norwegian housing estate as a particular place and planning problem. In my PhD, I analysed the gap between the expert’s ideas about what the Norwegian housing estate offers as landscape and home, and the estate as lived by its residents. More recently, I have taken an interest in the role of citizen participation and urban communities in relation to discursive ideas within urban planning and governance, such as area-based approaches to neighbourhood upgrading or 'just’ sustainable development.

Current research explores the intersections between policy, planning and people’s everyday productions and mobilisations of landscapes along two main focuses of interest: 1) Social cohesion as an idea and policy agenda, and the resulting attention being paid to local communities as arenas for inclusion, co-production and participation. And 2) Planning for green transitions in times of urgency with implications for democracy, citizen participation and conflicts over land use.
