I have several fields of study that I both teach, supervise and research in. Key words are place development, community planning, local and regional development and regionalisation. In both teaching and research, I am interested in how places change and develop, and in particular the role planning has and can have in creating even better places to both live and work in for us and for future generations. I think planning theory is exciting and like to convey how society can be seen as complex and how we can then relate to it in places and regions. 

I am also interested in mobility in the sense of how mobility connects and leads to changes and new questions we have to deal with, whether we are talking about regional, national or international mobility. Commuting, leisure mobility, labour migration, international migration, relocation, etc. fall under this. I work with these academic interests both in teaching, supervision and research. Geographically, they cover both urban and rural contexts. In the discipline of geography, I work in economic, political and social geography. I often try to link cultural, political and economic factors in my research and teaching. 

I have a great commitment to teaching and therefore work a lot with it, both as a teacher, supervisor and as part of a team that works with study quality and the development of new offers. I have been vice dean for education at the Faculty of Social Sciences for six years.

Currently, I am working on the following research and dissemination projects:

• Book about places under pressure and the role of community planning.
• Coworking as a strategy for place development
• Analysis of understandings of quality in research policy
• The role of population projections in municipal planning
• The place based, sense of place and the importance of the relational
