Short presentation
I am an associate professor in industrial engineering and management. I am also program director of the new 5 year engineering programme in industrial engineering and management. As an organizational scholar, I have focused in my research on creativity and creative labour from a gender perspective. I also do research on questions of materiality and space and new forms of organizing work.

Research
My research focuses on questions of materiality, space and creative work. I work with feminist theory and critical qualitative methodologies.
I am currently involved in the competence centre Anita that focuses on the potential re-introduction of nuclear energy in Sweden.
Previously I have been an associate editor of the journals Gender Work and Organization and Culture and Organization.
