Charlotta Hedberg är professor i kulturgeografi.  Hennes nuvarande forskning handlar om migration och mobilitet, i synnerhet internationell migration och migration till landsbygd. Hennes forskning relaterar till internationell arbetskraftsmigration, genom exemplet thailändska bärplockare i Sverige, som har analyserats genom etnografisk forskning ur ett transnationellt och translokalt perspektiv. Hedberg har även genomfört registerdatastudier som analyserar internationella migranters arbetsmarknadskarriärer och interna migration i Sverige. Hon forskar även om relationen mellan migration, plats och landsbygd. 

Nuvarande forskningsprojekt:

  • Ignorerat arbete: Förmedling av temporär migration till det "Nya Gröna Norrland" (Vetenskasrådet, 2025-2029)
  • Vilda bär i förändring (WiBS): Hållbar omställning och diversifierade ekonomier i rural glesbygd (Formas, 2022-2026)
  • Hållbara mötesplatser på landsbygden (Formas, 2025-2026)
     

Hedberg har tidigare varit verksam vid Kulturgeografiska institutionen, Uppsala universitet, samt Kulturgeografiska institutionen, Stockholms universitet.
