Kristina´s Research
In her research, Kristina focuses on the environmental adaptation and energy efficiency of Swedish primary industry (such as the paper and pulp, steel, and mining industries) during the 1900s and early 2000s.
Kristina is also interested in the driving forces and organization (at both local and national level) behind the emergence of infrastructural systems such as water/sewerage and district heating.
Kristina usually collaborates closely with political scientists, legal scholars and economists, where it becomes relevant to try to formulate policy lessons related to the environment, sustainability and the climate problem from historical research.
