About me

I am an assistant professor at the Unit of Intervention and Implementation Research on Worker Health at the Institute of Environmental Medicine. I have been a part of the unit since 2020 (initially as a postdoc researcher in between 2020–2022). I have a Phd in Political Science from Stockholm University, 2015. And I have since then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University, Department of the History of Science and Ideas in a research program titled "Medicine at the Borders of Life" (2017-2019) and as a senior lecturer in Gender Studies, Stockholm University (2019-2020).

Research description

I am the project leader of the evaluation and research project Future Work – in which we follow the transition toward more flexible work for the professional service at KI. Furthermore, I do research  on sick leave and return to work for (young) employees with experiences of common mental disorders (CMD) in two different research projects:

*A gender perspective on sick-leave among youth; obstacles and resources for return-to-work as experienced by employees and managers (GUNGA)

* A problem-solving intervention to enhance return to work among people on sick leave due to common mental disorders:  Psychosocial factors and balance in everyday life
