Nora Förell

Doctoral student within Mistra Environmental Communication doing research on the discursive role of values and knowledge in political debates around green transition issues. I have previously analysed the use of "freedom" and "justice" and what political proposals these guiding values are discursively connected to.  I am currently examining the debate around gene editing techniques in agriculture and food production in the EU. 

Previous Project

Governance, justice and resistance: On the way to a fossil-free welfare society (Formas): The project aims to develop an integrated vision for transition governance that is more likely to be socially accepted and effective.
