Background
I obtained my doctor's degree in Sociology in 1999 on the thesis "Unemployment, Employment Commitment and well-being - The Psycho-social Meaning of (Un)employment among Women and Men". I became Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology, Umeå University 2003. Since 2006 I holds a position as Professor in Rehabilitation Sciences at the Department of Health Sciences, Mid Sweden University
Research
Main research interests are relationships among working life, family life, gender and well-being in a Swedish and international perspective. Generally speaking, the research concerns two central aspects of working life; 1) Unemployment, inactivity, work motivation and psychosocial well-being 2) The conflict/balance between work life and family life, and its connection to health. Most research has a longitudinal and/or comparative approach. I has been a Research Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) in Uppsala and at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) in Stanford.
Teaching and tutoring
I have taught in a number of different subject areas such as sociological theory, scientific theory and method as well as on various aspects of working life conditions.
