Kajsa Lundberg

Kajsa is Research Fellow in the Centre for Urban Research in the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies. She currently works across two separate projects. Firstly, the Australian Research Council-funded Industrial Transformation and Research Hub - Transformation of Reclaimed Waste Resources to Engineered Materials and Solutions for a Circular Economy (TREMS). Forming part of this hub she supports Professor Ralph Horne’s research which considers apartment waste management from both social and policy perspectives. Secondly, she works collaboratively on an ARC funded DECRA project led by Dr Bhavna Middha on sustainable consumption.

Kajsa earned her PhD in 2023 from the University of Melbourne with a thesis which considered more-than-human harms, climate change, and fires that result from the ways that urban areas are developing and expanding. She has also done work on homelessness, public dissent, city climate action, spatial justice, and the use of technologies in the criminal justice system.

In 2022, as the Melbourne Centre for Cities Research Fellow of Urban Innovations she led a participatory research project with the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) that explored the potential of a global research agenda for cities.
