Background
I am an Associate Professor in Human Geography with a PhD from Uppsala University. In 2006, I was employed by the National Institute of Working Life (NIWL). With the shutdown of NIWL in 2007, I transferred to Mid Sweden University where I became a regular staff member in 2011.
Research
My research occurs at the intersection of feminist geography, labour geography and population geography (migration in particular). I have researched part-time work and underemployment in the elderly care, the labour geographies of hospitality workers, and Swedes migrating to Norway for Temp Agency Work. My current research centers on harassment and (threats of) violence in the hospitality workplace and on the labour-and-life geographies of gig-workers.
Teaching and tutoring
I have taught a large number of courses in human geography at Uppsala University and at Mid-Sweden University, covering topics such as mobilities, labour geographies, political geography, methods, planning, globalization, regional development, transportation, theories of science et cetera. I have also taught PhD courses in tourism studies, sociology and gender studies. I supervise students at all levels.
