Martin Emanuel

Jag är teknikhistoriker (disputerad KTH 2013) och forskare vid Avd. för urbana och regionala studier. Min forskning inbegriper även vetenskapshistoria, Science and Technology Studies (STS) och tvärvetenskapliga mobilitetsstudier. Mycket av min historiska forskning har kretsat kring cykling och för närvarande leder jag forskningsprojekt som närmar sig gående och kollektivtrafik i städer historiskt och i vår samtid.
