Ivana Suboticki

Ivana Suboticki is a Researcher at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of interdisciplinary studies of culture. She has a PhD in Science and Technology Studies and background in sociology and anthropology. Ivana explores social inclusion and gender equality issues related to energy transitions and higher education reform. Her main research areas follow two distinct but interlinked fields of interest: 1) Gender balance among university professors, with special focus on NTNU. The main interest is to explore how imbalances are produced in so-called epistemic living spaces where gender is formatted through the mediation of policies, strategies, and practices. 2) Energy transitions, with a specific focus on decarbonization of transport. Ivana is especially interested in the messy pathways and everyday politics of transitions efforts.

In both focus areas, Ivana’s interest is in understanding how inequalities are coproduced at the intersection between the mundane everyday life, materiality, and institutional arrangements.

Her previous projects include Sustainable Transition through Transformed Transportation, Bringing Environmental Knowledge into Action, and Center for Sustianable Energy Studies. Earlier, Ivana has also conducted research and coordinated projects at SeConS Development Initiative Group – a non-governmental and independent think tank organization, with the aim to promote and advance sustainable socio-economic development in Serbia.
