I am a PhD candidate at the School of social work, Lund university and affiliated to CASE (Centre for Ageing and Supportive Environments) and SWEAH (National graduate school on Ageing and Health). My research is about specialized care- and housing facilities for older adults with harmful substance use and complex needs in Sweden and Denmark and specialized home care in Sweden from a professional and care user perspective.  

My research interest is related to questions on ageing and substance issues, self-neglect, user participation/self-determination, harm reduction strategies, ageism, and human rights in relation to dignity and well-being. My doctoral thesis is planned to be completed 2027.  

I have an interdisciplinary background in occupational therapy and social work and have a master´s degree in both social work and medical science/occupational therapy. I have worked a number of years in psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and within the municipality primaraly with vulnerable older adults (and young people) with complex problems such as mental illness, substance addiction, homelessness, and psychosocial issues.
