My research explores the role of knowledge in governance responses to human-driven environmental changes. It analyzes how scientific evidence and other kinds of knowledge (e.g., experiential, local, and technical) inform decisions in both policy and practice. My research seeks to advance the theorizing on relations between science and societal stakeholders and related roles of researchers. It uses qualitative social science methods and applies, reflects on, and further develops transdisciplinary methods for the purpose of impactful knowledge coproduction by researchers and stakeholders. Grounded in political theory, I pay special attention to the role of power relations between actors in transdisciplinary settings. Empirically, I have worked across different environmental issues in the past, including oceans, energy, and agriculture, and want to focus increasingly on the intersection of climate change and biodiversity.

I would like to join a project where I can contribute to inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge co-production and integration. This involves co-production of knowledge about novel ecosystems with scientists from diverse disciplines and with local knowledge holders, as well as leading integration activities, such as development of joint conceptual framework, facilitation of interdisciplinary collaborations across research stages, scientific synthesis, and the co-design and implementation of practice-/policy-oriented outputs.
