Anna Storm

Anna Storm is Professor of Technology and Social Change at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping University in Sweden. Her research interests center on “industrial afterlives”, that is, the lingering effects of industrial activities and their social, cultural, and environmental expressions. In focus are often industrial and post-industrial landscapes and their transformation in physical and imaginary sense. Such landscapes challenge the way we understand ecology, aesthetics, memory and heritage, and trigger concerns about power relations. She is the author of Post-Industrial Landscape Scars (Palgrave Macmillan 2014). Currently she is the principal investigator of three research projects exploring nuclear history, heritage and futures from an international and interdisciplinary perspective: Nuclear Natures, Nuclear Memory and NuSPACES.
