Presentation
I am human geographer researching on the political economy of rental housing, municipal governance, and housing inequality.
My research interests include housing, especially the rental market and how institutional investments reconfigure rental systems and housing regimes as well as how they impact the everyday of tenants. This includes how privatization and apartment renovations alter tenure structures and affects local neigboorhoods. My research also concerns local state restructuring, as I scrutinize municipalities’ role visavi residential property investors and the broader financialization tendencies within local governance. Here, I am interesting with the intersections of municipal finance, urban planning, and property.
I am currently working in the Formas-financed project "Municipal governance and changing local rental markets: medium-sized municipalities’ strategies when meeting residential property investors". The project aims to investigate municipal governance and residential property investors’ establishment in medium-sized municipalities. (Project time 2023-2025).
I also work in a research project at Stockholm university, investigating Renovations, privatizations and conversions of rental housing together with Ida Borg (PI) and Eva Andersson (Vetenskapsrådet).
I am the book review editor for Housing, Theory and Society.
