I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at both the Insittute for Futures Studies and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University.  I am driven by a deep curiosity to understand dynamics At the Institute for Futures Studies, I explore and develop testable explanations concerning the strength of norms under different levels of risk (e.g. climate change, pandemic). My work is highly collaborative and uses modelling also as a ’tool' for a research process in which different researchers, methods, and/or data are combined.

A decentralised, evolvable network of platforms interconnected by open standards, and governed by the scientific community, is technically feasible. However, academic researchers remain tied to traditional journals not least because assessment of merit is tied to the venue of publication. Ways forward can include redirection of funding from legacy publishing models to new infrastructure and the development of new methods to assess scientific contributions. Concerted action by stakeholders needs to be combined with pluralistic experimentation on policies and interventions to further open science practices.
