Elias Isaksson

Elias Isaksson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science at Umeå University, with a dual affiliation as Associate Professor at the Unit of Police Work. His research examines environmental and transport politics through critical methodologies.

Current projects analyze how sustainability and mobility concepts are discursively constructed in policy frameworks, with focus on tensions between economic growth paradigms and environmental imperatives. His work investigates power dynamics in sustainable mobility transitions.

Isaksson's publications critique automobile-centric urban development and examine institutional barriers to sustainable transport systems. He contributes to the Environment and Natural Resource Politics research group at Umeå.
