Short presentation

I am a researcher in the field of Organization and Gender. I obtained my PhD in 2007 with the doctoral thesis 'Vi blev antagligen för många ...' ('We probably became too many ...'), which focuses on victimization and bullying in academic environments. Since the spring of 2023, I have been working at the National Centre for Knowledge on Men's Violence Against Women (NCK) as a researcher, analyst, and lecturer.

Biography

My background is originally in Business Administration, specifically Organisation Theory, where I became fascinated by questions of power and resource allocation in organisations during my early doctoral work. In 1998, I was recruited to KRAV as Chief Financial Officer, diving straight into the practice of financial management. When I was later recruited back to Uppsala University, I saw an opportunity to complete my thesis. Three years working as a gender equality officer paved the way for a position at the newly established Centre for Gender Research, leading to my PhD in 2007. My thesis, 'Vi blev antagligen för många ...' ('We probably became too many ...'), explored how the victimisation of women in academic careers can be understood as a form of violence. Alongside my research, I have worked practically with gender equality issues, frequently addressing victimisation, harassment, and their links to work environment policy. The issue of men’s violence against women in the workplace has been a common thread throughout my career, and I am now bringing this focus to my work at NCK.
