Michala Hvidt Breengaard

Michala Hvidt Breengaard serves as an Academic employee within the Landscape Architecture, Planning and Society section at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (Faculty of Science). Her interdisciplinary work bridges gender-diversity studies with climate-sustainability research, focusing on transport policy mainstreaming and social dimensions of mobility through collaborations with politicians, planners, and NGOs.

Her educational foundation includes a cand.scient.soc. degree and PhD investigating motherhood practices under China's one-child policy. This qualitative expertise informs her current research on feminist family studies, infant feeding, and citizenship frameworks.

Dr. Breengaard's research manifests through 26 publications (2021-2025) revealing three critical trajectories: gender-smart mobility frameworks for transport planning, sustainable reproduction discourse analysis in media, and inclusive technology design. Her work consistently applies feminist theory to expose equity gaps in cycling infrastructure, car branding, and bike-sharing systems while developing practical gender-action plans for municipalities.

She actively supervises MA/BA projects and contributes through editorial leadership for Kvinder, Køn & Forskning journal (2007-2010), membership in Denmark's Gender Research Association, and stakeholder workshops. Her impact extends to Danish municipal policy through the 'Green Transport, Technology and Diversity' inspiration catalog.
