Short presentation
My primary research interests are labour market relations, technological change, and economic policy in the 20th century. Research-wise, I am increasingly interested in global and international perspectives on historical issues.
In my doctoral dissertation from 2024, I studied the Swedish labor movement's attitude towards industrial rationalization and how it influenced the development of the so-called "Swedish labor market model" during the interwar period.
