Current Research
Situated in feminist political ecology, Georgia's research focuses on extractivism and industrial development projects. She currently focuses on iron ore mining and the Swedish ‘green’ steel transition and its effects in Sápmi. Georgia examines conflicts between various imaginaries of mining and industrial futures in narratives of progress, (green) growth, extraction for the good of the people and the modern way of life.
