Ingvild Firman Fjellså

Ingvild Firman Fjellså is a social scientist who works with energy transitions research in the NORCE Health & Social Science group ‘Climate, Environment, Sustainability’. Fjellså holds a PhD in science and technology studies (STS) and a masters in sociology. In her PhD project, she studied electricity consumption among householders in terms of the potential to change or shift daily life energy practices to reduce consumption at peak load hours.

She has research interests in technology-society relations, energy transitions, energy justices and fairness, gendered dynamics in relation to energy consumption, and everyday practices. Fjellså has experience with qualitative research methods, including traditional interviews and observations. She has also experimented with more untraditional methods, such as illustrations and written narratives (i.e., Fjellså et al. 2021).

Fjellså is currently involved in several projects working with energy transtions, including ELEXIA, OMEGA-X and Robinson.
