Nora Söderberg

Nora Söderberg is a Researcher at the European University Institute's Department of Political and Social Sciences in Florence, Italy. A Swedish national who joined the institution in cohort 2022, she is pursuing her doctoral research under the supervision of Professor Jeffrey T. Checkel.

Her research focuses on the intersection of environmental change and human mobility, particularly examining environmental migration through multiple lenses. Her work spans migration and citizenship studies, environmental politics, development aid, and energy transition. Söderberg employs multi-sited research methodologies to analyze complex global phenomena, with particular attention to European contexts and policy frameworks.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on energy transitions in Sweden, EU-Africa migration policies, and the geopolitical implications of infrastructure chokepoints like the Panama Canal. Her research demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach that bridges political science, environmental studies, and migration theory, with particular emphasis on justice dimensions in environmental governance.

Söderberg collaborates with scholars across Europe on projects examining environmental migration, energy policy, and EU trust funds. Her work contributes to ongoing academic and policy debates about how societies respond to environmental challenges through governance frameworks that address both immediate crises and long-term transitions.
