Juliet Namukasa
About
I am a PhD candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), under the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture. My academic interests include sustainable transport, urban mobility, and social wellbeing, with a focus on research in the Global South.
Research
My research focuses on sustainable and socially just transport in the Global South, with particular attention to urban mobility, sustainable transport, and everyday travel practices of end users.
The project is under the NORHED 11 project at NTNU in collaboration with Makerere University Business School, which explores sustainable transportation transitions in East Africa. Using qualitative and interdisciplinary approaches, I investigate mobility experiences of commuters and their imaginaries in rapidly urbanizing cities.
My research interests include sustainable development, sustainable transport, climate change, urban well-being, gender and mobility, aging and the built environment, and inclusive and low-carbon transport futures.
