Gavin McCrory

Gavin McCrory is a Senior Researcher at Oslo Metropolitan University, affiliated with the Centre for Welfare and Labour Research – Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research – Housing, Place and Regional Studies.

His research focuses on sustainability transitions and transformations, particularly examining the governance of social change as multi-stakeholder learning processes. Dr. McCrory investigates how these processes are co-framed and co-designed, and how they unfold over space and time. He critically examines how dominant knowledge systems contribute to unsustainability and explores novel forms of knowledge necessary for deep structural transformations toward sustainability.

His current research includes the CIRCULAR project investigating governance factors driving the co-creation of an innovative circular economy for reduced consumption. Previously, he participated in the FUSILLI project exploring new ways of producing and distributing food in European cities through experimental methods and knowledge sharing, supported by Horizon 2020.

Dr. McCrory's interdisciplinary work bridges theory and practice, education and research, drawing from geography, futures studies, learning sciences, and sustainability science.
