Presentation

My research is broadly concerned with the political economy of sustainability transformations, especially in relation to the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as plastics, petrochemicals, and agriculture. I am interested in the cultural, political, and economic arrangements that make transformations difficult, and how incumbents and niche actors navigate and contest those arrangements.

My work is interdisciplinary in theory and method, but tends to emphasize the importance of expertise, regulation, and governance, as well as how this is framed and communicated. I generally work with qualitative methods in connection to relational and computational methods, in particular social network analysis.

Current research topics include expert networks in industrial decarbonization; green economic planning; alternative organizations in plastics and the circular economy; and the politics of green growth versus post-growth in the global economy.

Primary research areas

•    Environmental politics and political economy
•    Sustainability transformations/transitions and decarbonization
•    Professionals, experts, expertise, and framing
•    Regulation, governance, and bureaucracy
