Angelica Wågström

Angelica Wågström is a PhD student at the division for Science, Technology and Society, defending her thesis in November 2025. Her research examines the intersection of energy systems and care labour, exploring what a degrowth energy transition could look like. The thesis draws on rhythmanalysis and utopian approaches to critically reimagine how energy and care can be organized in more just and sustainable ways. Positioned within critical energy studies, feminist care studies, and degrowth scholarship, she engages with how societies might transition beyond growth-oriented paradigms while centering care as a fundamental practice.

With a background in environmental sciences and human ecology, she brings an interdisciplinary lens to her work, bridging ecological, social, and feminist perspectives to envision alternative energy futures.
