Research profile

I am head of the research group RECAST (Research in sociocultural aspects of sustainability and green transitions). This interdisciplinary group provides new knowledge and understandings of sociocultural aspects of sustainability and green transitions. The current sustainability crises are co-constituted through human and social activities and therefore need to be explored through humanities and social science perspectives.

My interdisciplinary profile spans from studies in Danish grammar to studies of governmentality and mobilities studies. Theoretically and methodologically, my research is based on interactional and practice-theoretical approaches to communication. Topically, it has developed around the question of a green, equitable transition of everyday practices, particularly everyday transport practices. I have recently closed a research project on the governing of appropriate ‘travelling together’ on public transport during the pandemic, and I am currently running two new projects: One that concerns identities and rationalities in public transport, and one that concerns accessibility in public transport travelling for people with various communication challenges.
