Reasearch / work
I do research on social policy, social security system and welfare state changes in the context of the climate crisis. In a research project "Sustainable welfare for a new generation of social policy", financed by the Swedish Energy Agency (2020-2023), I have worked on developing social policy measures for sustainable welfare which are anchored in the citizens' wishes/preferences as to how we can satisfy our fundamental needs without overshooting the planetary boundaries. The project combined methods such as citizen forums, public opinion survey and expert forums. With colleagues at Lund University I am developing a new research project which focuses on studying the public support for new eco-social policy measures aiming at limiting the carbon footprints of the rich.
