Social and Spatial Justice

About the research group

By facilitating close cross-disciplinary dialogue around issues related to social and spatial justice, the research group enables a cross-fertilisation of ideas intended to mutually strengthen the various research projects that members are participating in. Together we explore the different theoretical and methodological approaches to the subject. We also engage critically with the contemporary justice issues that arise when on-going societal transitions generate new injustices and inequalities while exacerbating and metamorphosing old ones.

Members of the group are currently involved in the following projects, initiatives, and networks:

• New European Bauhaus Stavanger (NEB-STAR)
• Ghosts of Empire in the North Sea
• Hva skjer i Røldal?
• ImpactWind Southwest
• Nuclear Nordics: Radioactive Waste Spatialities, Materialities and Societies in the Nordic Region, 1960s to 1990s
• Energy Systems in Transition (ENSYSTRA)
• Smart Sustainable Cities Research Network
• Future Energy Hub
• EERA Joint Programme on Energy Systems Integration
