Biography

I am a human geographer based at the Institute of Housing and Urban Research at Uppsala University. My research has focused on various topics, including climate change, energy transition, and British colonial history. In recent years, I have concentrated on changing patterns of ownership of socially significant assets such as housing, land, and infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on the growing role of asset managers and major investment institutions. I have worked at Uppsala University since 2008 and have previously studied at Oxford University (BA, 1993), University of British Columbia (MA, 1995), and University of Auckland (PhD, 2008).
