Short presentation
Docent in history, Project coordinator, Gender and Work, Department of History, Uppsala University.
Biography
Since autumn 2020, I have been the project coordinator for the research and digitization project Gender and Work (GaW). The project started in 2010 under the leadership of Professor Maria Ågren at the Department of History in Uppsala: http://gaw.hist.uu.se/
I have a background in research concerned with issues of women's work and livelihood opportunities from a gender perspective, specifically in the medical field in Sweden during the 19th century and within commerce in early modern times of Stockholm.
