My research is all about how gender-power orders affect construction of risks and how it appears in managing risks in countys and regions. In a bigger perspective, research is connected to climate changes and the complex risks that society manage and will need to manage. I also teach at the Bachelor's - and Masters Programme at Center for Societal Risk Research (CSR) at Karlstad University.
