He is the coordinator of the Interaction and Social Change Research Group (GRICS-UB). His research and publications focus on the micropolitics of place and the ideological construction of people-place relations, across socially sensitive topics such as public space and the right to the city, urban transformations, racism, migration, gender, nationalism and mobilities.

Christopher Raymond is a Professor of Sustainability Science at the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science, University of Helsinki, Finland. His research interests include the conceptualization and assessment of senses of place and the multiple values of nature; weaving scientific, local, and Indigenous knowledge for sustainability; nature-based solutions co-benefit assessment; and the governance of sustainability transformations. He is lead editor of the recent book Changing Senses of Place: Navigating Global Challenges and coordinating lead author of a recent Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (UN) report on the multiple values of nature.

Natalie Gulsrud is an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Section for Landscape Architecture and Planning.
