Ellen Hjort is a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Aberystwyth University, affiliated with the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences and working on the Local Policy & Innovation Partnership for Rural Wales (Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales).
Her research focuses on rural spatial justice, exploring how belonging, identity, citizenship, and political influence shape lived experiences in rural communities. Her work emphasizes qualitative methods and investigates themes such as migration, race, whiteness, representation, and social exclusion, with case studies in Northern Sweden and Mid Wales.
The recent publication and presentation activities indicate a strong engagement with geographies of discontent, middle-ground ruralities, and the emotional dimensions of rural belonging. Her interdisciplinary work bridges human geography, rural sociology, and political geography, contributing to critical understandings of rural futures.
Ellen has been active in public and academic discourse, delivering invited talks and contributing to media coverage on rural challenges shared between Wales and inland Sweden. She has presented on topics including migrant belonging in rural Wales and political disengagement in depopulating regions.
