About Erik Löfmarck
I am an associate professor in sociology at Örebro University, where I am assigned as Head of School (prefekt) at the School of Business and at the School of Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Meal Science. My research is mainly focused on social aspects of risk, uncertainty and knowledge. In my dissertation (Uppsala University, 2014) I investigated how mothers of young children experience and manage risks around food. After that, I continued to study risk, uncertainty and knowledge in other contexts, e.g. in forestry and in international environmental management.
On the side, I mainly devote myself to music and can be found on Spotify!
