Academic interests
My PhD-project is about Norwegian families vacation practices, and how events like the Covid19 pandemic, the debate on "flight shame" and increased knowledge on climate change affect vacation practices.
My research interest lies in the social processes that lead to anthropogenic climate change and loss of nature and bio-diversity - and how we can find solutions to these problems.
