‘We’re the real shit!’ Low-income groups’ unequal access to green mobility transitions in Norway
This paper investigates the intersection of mobility justice and sustainability transitions, focusing on how low-income groups experience and navigate mobility challenges. Data was gathered through storytelling workshops (14) and individual interviews (22), involving a total of 73 participants from low-income groups in three Norwegian cities: Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim. Using the concept of motility to reframe mobility as a form of social c…

The unsung heroes of Norway's sustainability transitions? Making visible the “invisible” energy citizenship of low-income households
This paper explores the concept of energy citizenship through the lived experiences of low-income households in Norway, showing a significant disconnect between participatory ideals embedded in national climate and energy policies and the everyday realities of economically marginalised groups. While energy transitions are often framed as collective efforts requiring active citizen engagement, systemic barriers frequently prevent low-income groups…
Climate change adaptation as a part of everyday life
Bærekraftig reindrift? Bruksreglenes påvirkning på reindriftssamenes selvstyre og klimatilpasning
Reindriftssamene står daglig overfor utfordringer som følge av klimaendringer og «grønne» utbyggingsprosjekter som fører til reduksjon i beitearealer for reinene og derfor kan true den samiske reindriftsnæringen. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan myndighetenes styring gjennom bruksregler påvirker reindriftsnæringens rom for klimatilpasningsarbeid og selvstyre. Basert på en kvalitativ intervjustudie med representanter fra norske myndigheter…
Energy-efficiency policies reinforce energy injustices
The high energy prices in Europe have caused an increase in energy poverty, even in Norway, where electricity has traditionally been affordable due to cheap hydropower. In this paper, we analyse the impact of energy-efficiency policies on low-income households to discover whether they reduce or reinforce existing injustices. To address this, our approach combines energy justice with a theory of care. Little attention has been paid to care within …
Deep experiments for deep transitions – low-income households as sites of participation and socio-technical change in new energy systems
Sensory and emotional dimensions of domesticating new technology
Cities face major challenges when it comes to sustainability and mobility. Transport’s contribution to climate change is well-established, and people need to move in the most sustainable way to reach the 2030 emissions targets set by the Paris Agreement. One possible pathway towards more sustainable mobility practices is electromobility. The electrification of micro-mobility is happening rapidly, and one of the most popular is the e-bike. For yea…
Fostering justice through engagement
Social science and humanities scholars have highlighted that energy transitions have unequal and unjust consequences on societies. This has strengthened the importance of energy justice in both policy and research on energy transitions. Public engagement in energy transition is an important cornerstone to mitigate such outcomes; however, it does not univocally equal nor lead to energy justice. Public engagement can also be used to maintain the st…
Conditions for just offshore wind energy
Global investment in offshore wind energy is anticipated to surge in the coming decades. While improved technology, reduced costs, and generous policy support are frequently acknowledged as driving factors, many assert that there are fewer societal challenges with offshore renewable installations than with onshore ones. Drawing from a co-creation process with key Norwegian stakeholders and an interdisciplinary team of social science and humanitie…
Expanding the scope and implications of energy research
This paper provides an overview of key themes and concepts within energy-related Social Sciences and Humanities (energy-SSH) research in Europe. It aims to use this overview as an introduction for those producing strategies and interventions to advance energy and sustainability transitions in practice as well as for newcomers to the field of energy-SSH research, such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) researchers. This pap…
Creating energy citizenship through material participation
Transitions towards low-carbon energy systems will be comprehensive and demanding, requiring substantial public support. One important contribution from STS is to highlight the roles of citizens and public engagement. Until recently, energy users have often been treated as customers and passive market actors, or as recipients of technology at the margins of centralized systems. With respect to the latter role, critical or hesitant public action h…
Outreaching, Outsourcing, and Disembedding
The role of the individual scientist as a socialization agent (i.e., an actor who contributes to embedding technology into society) is increasingly emphasized in science policy. This article analyzes offshore wind scientists' narratives about science-technology-society relations and their role in them. It particularly focuses on the nuanced and detailed reasons that scientists give for their level of engagement with society. The analysis is based…
Out of Sight, out of Mind? Controversy over Offshore Wind Energy in Norway's News Media
News media are important reference points for public sense-making of emerging technology. In Norway, offshore wind can be considered an emerging technology. Siting renewable energy technology offshore is commonly regarded as a solution to onshore implementation problems, as development happens ‘out of sight, out of mind’ of the public. However, does moving renewable energy technology offshore really prevent controversy? How is emerging offshore w…
Sublime technology and object of fear
The development of offshore wind energy is often connected to expectations that the public will be positive about or at least indifferent to the technology. Because turbines are placed at sea-out of sight, out of mind-they are expected to avoid the public resistance experienced with respect to onshore installations. This paper examines offshore wind scientists' constructions of the public(s) by identifying narratives in the research communities. …
