Science communicator with a passion for conveying information in a clear and compelling way. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Media and Communication Science from Lund University including a year of Political Science studies and a PR internship. I’m fascinated with the media landscape and how it impacts politics, journalism and the general public. Studying politics got me interested in the structures of governance and the processes of democratic decision-making. In addition, I’m a writer at heart and I am pleased to combine these different interests in my work at Nordregio. In other words, I get to connect my creative and value driven sides in support of research that helps guide regional policy. Jackpot.

Sara Melander‘s spatial story

At 27, I’ve arrived at a deep appreciation for the stillness in my childhood. I feel privileged to experience both and to have a place of retreat – mentally if not physically – when urban life gets intense. I’m thankful for feeling at home in multiple spaces, for the space I’m currently in and for all the spaces I have yet to (re)discover. For the ability to choose and change direction.
