Christina Juh­lin

I am an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersection of organization studies and urban studies, with a strong foundation in qualitative research.  

My research investigates political organizing in diverse settings - from large-scale urban transformations to grassroots climate initiatives. I am interested in how affective dimensions such as place attachments and the mobilization of hope shape collective action. To explore these dynamics, I draw on pragmatic sociology, urban theory, and affect studies. I have published in leading journals in sociology, management, and planning. 

Currently, I am a Postdoc and serve as Co-Principal Investigator on the Velux-funded project KLIMA-DEL. I also manage the research group Social and Political Venturing at CBS, coordinate and teach courses on qualitative methods, and co-edit a special issue of the journal ephemera. 

My next research project, for which I am currently seeking funding, will contribute to rethinking how citizens engage with climate politics as consumers and as political actors capable of shaping institutional change. Through a creative practice-based methodology and a case study of urban climate governance and lifestyle politics in Nordic cities, I aim to develop new tools for understanding and enabling climate engagement.
