Short presentation
I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology and am an Associate Professor (Docent) in Gender Studies. My empirical research interests vary, but in one way or another, they concern gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, the body, and (dis)ability. In broad terms, my work adopts a norm-critical and intersectional perspective. In recent years, my research has primarily focused on sexual health and domestic violence.
