My research is located at the intersection of transnational feminism and queer, populism studies, religiosities/secularities, digital cultures and scholarships of hope. Currently, I am involved in several research- and collaborative projects which broadens and deepens my research interests in various ways.

In 2024 I was appointed Wallenberg Scholar by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and granted funding for the comparative research program Gender struggles in the new conjuncture. Gender, sexuality and the future of human rights in the 21^st century (2025-2030). The project brings together three senior researchers, one postdoctoral scholar and one doctoral student, who will employ a transnational and multiscalar approach to explore the complex dynamics between retrogressive mobilizations and emancipatory struggles in Europe and beyond.

I lead the project Liveability at the crossroads of religion, gender and sexuality, which seeks to identify what makes, and could make, spaces liveable for lgbtqia+ people of faith (funded by Forte 2022-2025). The project evolves around four case studies with Muslim, Jewish, Roman Catholic and Sami communities located in the South, West, East and North of Sweden.

I am co-researcher in Change is Key! a RJ-funded research program, that aims to create computational tools to explore how languages, societies and cultures have changed over time.  The program spans six years (2022 - 2027) with a total of 11 researchers, one research engineer and six partner universities. My case study in the program examines the impact of emancipatory language change on cultural transformation, and how shifts in values and norms, in turn, influence the use of language.

I am involved in two graduate schools: The Network of Excellence NETHATE, is a Marie Curie Intensive Training Network that brings together a multidisciplinary international team of 10 researchers and 20 PhD students to investigate the dynamics of offline and online hate dissemination, strategies for its containment and reconciliation, and its effects on victims and bystanders. The FUDEM Graduate School, a national graduate school funded by the Swedish Research Council, brings together ten researchers and ten PhD students to explore threats against democracy, crises and illiberal populist movements from a humanist perspective.

I am also part of the network A new generation of scholars of antisemitism (funded by the Swedish research council 2023-2025), an interdisciplinary and international research network with the goal to open up new research questions and develop novel analytical concepts and methodological approaches to study certain challenging issues in research on antisemitism.

I recently finalized two research projects. The interdisciplinary research cluster TechnAct: Transformations of Struggle (funded by the Swedish Research Council 2018-2024) examined the impact of digital technologies on social movements and civil society engagements. Currently, we are finalizing an edited book with the working title Emerging digital cultures. Feminist struggles and global change. Spaces. Bodies. Revolts, presenting findings from the project.

The collaborative project Spaces of Resistance. A study of gender and sexualities in times of transformation (funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation 2016-2021) explored transnational encounters in feminist and LGBTI+ activism across Scandinavia, Russia and Turkey (together with Olga Sasunkevich, University of Gothenburg, Selin Çağatay, Central European University and Hülya Arik, University of Toronto). The book Feminist and LGBTI+ Activism across Russia, Scandinavia and Turkey. Transnationalizing Spaces of Resistance, Palgrave Macmillan Springer International Publishing 2022, presents the insights drawn from this research.
