About me

RESEARCHER

Urban och regional studies

E-post:

My research interests revolve around knowledge formation, collective work and decision making processes, asymmetric power relations and the limits of knowing.

Ongoing projects:



Ethical dilemmas and practical knowledge

I am interested in exploring practical knowledge in relation to the complex issues urban planning deals with. This is knowledge that cannot be manualised, that rather is about handling difficult situations that do not follow the habitual pattern. Situations that are often abrasive and that find expression in the body. This is closely likned to the practical form of knowledge called Phronesis

Designed living environments - transdisciplinary learning

In the ongoing research project Designed living environments - transdiciplinary learing, goal conflicts, frictions and practical knowledge in collaborative processes are examined within the framework of the area of designed livning environment. The project is conducted in collaboration with Håkan Nilsson, Södertörn University and Loulou Cherinet, University of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack).

A thinking practice

In the ongoing project A thinking practice, the relationship between urban planning and choreography with a focus on asymmetric power relations and the role of the body in co-creative processes is explored.

After a long term interest in openness/co-creation/non-hierarchical forms of decision making within the field of urban studies as well as the choreographic field we are now witnessing a growing research interest in structures, frameworks and asymmetries. The project aims to investigate the potentials and pitfalls of these structures.
