About
Hi!
I'm a PhD candidate at KULT researching the acceleration of energy transition currently permeating public discourses and politics. These display a sense of urgency about the radical transformation our societies have to undergo in a limited timeframe. Yet these are bound to have implications for how people live their lives, thus mandating the inclusion of the broader society to avoid serious social and justice implications.
Some would argue these notions to be polar opposites - how can we accelerate a transition while at the same time making it more inclusive and giving voice to those affected by it?
The project is funded by FME Ntrans - Norwegian center for Energy Transition Strategies, which you can read more about here: FME NTRANS - Norwegian Centre for Energy Transition Strategies - NTNU
