Biography

Research

I am a Professor in Political Science at the Department Government at Uppsala University. My research and teaching interests span the field of comparative politics with a particular focus on gender; including the impact of parties, electoral laws, and networks on political recruitment, the role of informal institutions in politics, the explicit gendering of men and masculinities, the adoption of gender equality policies, and the attitudes to and dynamics of violence during conflict.

I lead a research environment on sexual corruption and I am a partner in the EU Horizon project MEN4DEM.

Teaching

My teaching is mainly in the subject of Development Studies. I have taught courses like Development Policy in Practice, Gender, Power, and Institutions and Gender and Economic Development. I also have a long experience in teaching methodology courses. I supervise both undergraduate and graduate students.

I am presently the Director of the PhD programme in political science.

Background

I earned my doctorate in 2010 and my dissertation was entitled Men in Politics. Revisiting Patterns of Gendered Parliamentary Representation in Thailand and Beyond. The dissertation explores how male parliamentary dominance is maintained by investigating the role clientelist networks play in electoral politics in Thailand.

Some of my most recent publications include (2022) "Armed Violence and Patriarchal Values. A Survey of Young Thai Men and their Military Experiences" (with Anders Engvall, Srisompob Jitpiromsri and Erik Melander) in the American Political Science Review, (2022) ”How Autocrats Weaponize Women’s Rights” (with Pär Zetterberg) in the Journal of Democracy 33(2), and (2020) "How is Political Violence Gendered? Disentangling Motives, Forms and Impacts" (with Gabrielle Bardall and Jennifer Piscopo) in Political Studies. I co-edited the book Gender and Violence against Political Actors with Pär Zetterberg (Temple University Press, 2023). My book Gender, Informal Institutions and Political Recruitment. Understanding Male Dominance in Parliamentary Representation was published in 2013 (and in paperback 2015) with Palgrave Macmillan).

I was a core group member of the East Asian Peace Program at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University. I co-edited the book Debating the East Asian Peace. What it is. How it Came About. Will it last? with Joakim Kreutz. I have also been affiliated to the interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies at Uppsala University in Sweden. I have been a visiting scholar at the Electoral Integrity Project at the University of Sydney, Australia (2014), the New School for Social Research in New York City, USA (2007), and to Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand (2006).

I am co-editing a new book series on Studies in Feminist Institutionalism with Oxford University Press and I am a Director of the Feminism and Institutionalism International Network, FIIN.
