Jeg har bakgrunn fra miljøplanlegging, politikkutvikling og styring, og i det siste har jeg jobbet mest med offentlige klimatilpasningstiltak.
Jeg er interessert i hvordan vitenskap og andre måter å vite på blir brukt til å støtte opp om beslutninger og handlinger i styringsinstitusjoner, også i grensesnittet mellom vitenskap og politikkutvikling. I løpet av de siste fem årene har jeg jobbet med å avdekke vår kulturelle og stilltiende kunnskap om klima som vi tar for gitt og som påvirker hvordan individer og grupper tilpasser seg; for eksempel kulturelle rammer for årstider eller forestillinger om tid.
Jeg forsker hovedsakelig i en "utvidet" eller deltakende modus; i samarbeid med grupper i samfunnet søker jeg å samprodusere kunnskap og handling for å møte utfordringene disse står overfor. Jeg har som mål å synliggjøre den kunnskapen som har blitt oversett eller marginalisert, inkludert lokal, tradisjonell og praktisk kunnskap. I forskningen min bruker jeg blant annet perspektiver fra transdisiplinaritet, post-normal vitenskap, samt praktiske tilnærminger til folkeforskning og klimatjenester.
Gjennom min forskning prøver jeg å være aktiv på begge sider av grensesnittet mellom vitenskap og politikkutvikling. Jeg er forsker ved NORCE Climate, hvor jeg jobber tett med klimaforskere for å finne ut hvordan forskningen deres kan kobles til styringsprosesser, blant annet ved Climate Futures-senteret. Jeg er også nestleder for Young Academy of Europe (tilknyttet Academia Europaea) og gir målrettede innspill til europeisk vitenskapspolitikk. Jeg har i tillegg en adjunktstilling ved University of Toronto Scarborough.
I tillegg til forskning brenner jeg for lærerplanutvikling og undervisning innenfor transdisiplinær samproduksjon i praksis, rettet mot forskere tidlig i karrieren. Relatert til dette har jeg nylig vært med på å utvikle forskerskoler i Afrika som en del av det NFR-finansierte CATER-prosjektet.
Jeg er for tiden prosjektleder for det EU-finansierte CALENDARS-prosjektet.
I see important overlaps between how we conduct research and how we communicate it. I'm interested in setting up creative spaces where groups can simultaneously learn from research, and contribute to it.
In the CALENDARS project, we have been asking people in Bergen to re-create the primstav - traditional calendar stick - for contemporary life in the city. We've run workshops in collaboration with Aldea atelier in 2020, and with school children at the science open day 2019.
I've been active in facilitating citizen science initiatives in Bangladesh and Bergen, and for me these are exercises for learning through doing research.
I'm also interested in what we can learn from, and teach, through narratives. For the past five years I have been using film as a research method for communicating narratives and stimulating discussion. See e.g.:
Films about climate in Sylhet, Bangladesh - from February 2016.
‘Aquaculture: Whose sustainability?’ - from November 2012
European seafood consumer preferences - from March 2012
I think it is important to have research discussed in the public sphere, publishing various articles in newspapers and trade journals.
In September 2021, I was interviewed on the BBC program Costing the Earth about how Bangladesh, and specifically Sylhet in the northeast, is adapting to climate change . The episode, called Qasa’s Farm - Building Resilience in Bangladesh, is available until 28 September 2022. We worked with communities in Sylhet in the TRACKS project from 2014-2018, in search of new ways for understanding and adapting to the climate.
Jeg blir regelmessig invitert til å gi gjesteforelesninger ved ulike institutter ved Universitetet i Bergen og NHH (Norges Handelshøyskole), og jeg er foreleser ved The Norwegian Research School in Environmental Humanities (NoRS-EH).
Jeg brenner for lærerplanutvikling og undervisning innenfor transdisiplinær samproduksjon i praksis, rettet mot forskere tidlig i karrieren. Relatert til dette har jeg nylig vært med på å utvikle forskerskoler i Afrika som en del av det NFR-finansierte CATER-prosjektet; en spin-off av ph.d.-kurset Co-producing climate adaptation research som jeg utviklet sammen med andre i oktober 2019.
Jeg var også med på å utvikle og gjennomføre et kurs innenfor transdisiplinær forskning for bachelor- og masterstudenter ved sju ulike europeiske universiteter (rundt 200 studenter). Dette var en del av ARQUS-alliansen som UiB tidligere var medlem av.
