Kristina Grange

Kristina Grange is Professor of Urban Planning and Design Theory, at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering. She has an interest in social science and political theory and their implications for urban planning and design. Her own research has a discursive and critical approach, by which she seeks to unfold taken-for-granted perceptions in social practices, and discuss their spatial, political and democratic consequences. Currently, her research focuses migration, homelessness, other spatial inequalities and imaginaries of 'the other'. She has also studied how on-going political and ideological changes are reflected in alterations in the acting space of planners, and what the implications of such changes are for democracy, as well as for the planning profession itself.
