My research is within the area of crisis and disaster management and focuses on aspects such as learning, resilience, preparedness and organisation. My work is interdisciplinary, and I have published articles with researchers from various disciplines, including political science, sociology, psychology, cultural geography and engineering science. In my thesis I studied Swedish public authorities and their work in developing and organising crisis preparedness planning processes. One of my case studies for this project was the Swedish storm Gudrun 2015. In my postdoc I studied how prevention and preparedness work, mainly focusing on risk and vulnerability analysis, was used in municipalities and county administrative boards. Today, I conduct research within three different but connected areas: (1) Crisis preparedness and resilience. In this area I continue the work from my PhD thesis. (2) Organization of volunteers during crisis, where I am focusing on the forest fire in Västmanland 2014 and the multiple forest fires during the summer of 2018. (3) Climate adaptation. Sustainable distribution of responsibility for climate change adaptation, with flooding as the main case, is the focus of this work.
