Forskningsinformation:
My main area of research revolves around social, cultural, and policy-related dimensions of environment, technology and science. Within this broad framework, I have had the privilege of analysing organizational processes in the sectors of electricity (wind power, nuclear power) biofuels, household chemicals, textiles, water issues, waste issues, genetically modified food, organic food, environmental and ethical funds, carpooling, carsharing, public transportation, and tourism. Several of these areas I have studied from an international perspective.
