About
I am a human geographer with a research interest in topics around political ecology, environmental justice, conservation and development politics and policies, state violence, and the broader discourses of sustainable development.
My current research work, among others, focuses on the analysis of the translation and localization of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into Norwegian urban planning and practice. Through my current research project, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and shortcomings of translating global-scale global goals into local planning and practice.
