Achieving sustainability is one of the great challenges of our time. My research interests are:

Sustainable health care
The healthcare systems of today face significant challenges. In Sweden, the regional health care authorities need to adapt their operations to meet changing demographic pressures, increased requirements from local communities, and escalating costs. My research concerns the view and approaches to maintaining a universal healthcare system that is sustainable for current and future generations.

A sustainable digital working life.
In combination with new means of working, the use of social and digital media has meant that the boundaries between private and working life have become increasingly blurred. At the same time, expectations of employee presence in these media forms have increased. My research in this area concerns the teaching profession's use of social media. Of particular interest is how schools work to take advantage of social media's benefits while also creating a sustainable digital work environment for teachers.
