I obtained my PhD degree in Social Work (focus on Social Policy and Sustainability) in the beginning of 2023, with the PhD thesis Support for sustainable welfare? A study of public attitudes related to an eco-social agenda among Swedish residents.

Research interests

My research interest lies primarily in the intersection between social policy and climate change. Other research interests are to be found in welfare state development, welfare service delivery, and civil society’s collective organizing and mobilizing in relation to the welfare state, but also in relation to social-ecological transformations.

Current research projects:

• Economic Elites in the Climate Change Transformation: Practices, justifications and regulations of unsustainable lifestyles in Sweden
• Regulating the Polluter Elite: Exploring policy measures limiting carbon footprints of the rich
• Eco-social risks and 'exposure bias' also in the Global North? A study of pluvial flooding in relation to socioeconomic context in Sweden

Teaching and other commitments

I am involved in various courses on the undergraduate level (e.g., Methods course, Social Work in Sweden - An Introduction) and on the graduate level (e.g., Social Policy in Europe, Civil Society and Social Work).

Together with Roberto Scaramuzzino I am coordinating the research group Civil Society and Social Work (CSSA).

Previous education and work experience

I hold a Master's degree in Political Science from Lund University and a Bachelor's degree in Social Policy and Welfare Studies from Växjö University. Also, I have work experience as a public official, mainly within the Swedish unemployment insurance system.
