Biography
I am a registered nurse-midwife with a master in global health. I have a PhD in reproductive health since 2018 and currently work as a associate senior lecturer in gender-based violence and health.
Research
My research topics are family planning, reproductive decision-making, parenthood, intimate partner violence and equitable care.
At NCK, I conduct research on our national support lines for victims of violence. I focus in particular on men’s vulnerability to violence in intimate relationships, their efforts to seek help, and their support needs. I also serve as the coordinator for the Swedish Research Network on Gender-Based Violence and Intimate Partner Violence.
I am currently involved in the research project EMBARC, a study about racism and racialization processes in maternal care. The study runs in co-production with racialized minoritized women, healthcare staff and civil society in Sweden and Great Britainin (2024-2026).
Together with prof. Jenny Björklund, I do research on reproductive decision-making in relation to climate change/environmental issues.
