Short presentation

My primary research interests lie within the field of social and legal history, and I am particularly interested in institutional history from the perspective of the rule of law: how women and men defended their rights during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, how they were received by the authorities when doing so and the effects these actions had for larger developments in society. I wrote my dissertation within the Gender and Work project (http://gaw.hist.uu.se/).
