Dr. Michael Mögele

Postdoc

Michael Moegele is a member of the “Transforming Mobility and Society” (TraMS) Lab, which is closely affiliated with the Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions (MCube). Michael’s research focuses on regional mobility cultures, mobility politics and sustainability transformations. His current research investigates real-world laboratories and mobility experiments in the region of Munich and their political role as potential innovation tools in mobility transformations.  In his doctoral thesis at LMU Munich, he examined regional car cultures in Southern Germany with a particular focus on the interrelation between car production and consumption in order to better understand the persistence of unsustainable mobility cultures. Michael studied geography and physics at LMU Munich and holds a PhD in human geography from LMU Munich.
