Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
I am interested in collaborating around radical, local and situated food innovations. Methodologically, I work with developing co-creation methodologies, future methods and transformative spaces connected to domestic food practices. The questions of interest for my work are:
How can transformative space be co-designed within food systems? How can these be understood as innovations in governance?
How can alternative ways of organizing around food practice be understood and fostered?
How can food systems be conceptualized and signposted, and how systems effects be traced as part of a transformative learning agenda?
How can plural ways of framing food be co-produced that interrelate food with health and sustainability?
OMU is the second-largest university in Norway, renowned for its inter-and-transdisciplinary expertise
on the social dimensions of urban change. Interest in FutureFoods is from Dr. Gavin McCrory, senior researcher at the
Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, with demonstrated transdisciplinary expertise around the
social dimensions of sustainability transformations, reflexive governance, urban co-creation practices,
democratic innovations, and institutional dynamics. McCrory has international expertise in theorizing,
investigating and designing governance innovations, experimentation and social transformative learning, urban
sustainability, and project management. He has designed urban living labs and transformation labs in multiple cities,
regions and across countries as learning interventions. OsloMet has recent experience developing living lab methodologies for food systems innovation as part of the EU Project FUSILLI.
