Associate Professor

Interdisciplinary researcher in social work with a drive to combine unexpected knowledge domains to solve family court and child protective service problems.

Interdisciplinary researcher in social work

My research mainly concerns risk assessments in family court and CPS cases. I try to be a creative, Interdisciplinary researcher with new Ideas without limiting myself to singular disciplines or domains.

My education

Senior lecturer in social work
Ph.D in Psychology
B.Sc in Cognitive Science

Research

I am a co-worker in a FORTE-project concerning measuring and improving the quality of assessments of stories of violence at Lund University. Apart from that my research concern risk assessments in social work investigations, but I am very interested in rule of law, family court, CPS, statistics, logics, motivation and cognitive aspects of social work. As a researcher, I am strongly drawn to interdisciplinary studies, and I happily combine different domains or knowledge to create more interesting studies. In addition, I try to collaborate with non-profit organizations that work with family court and CPS issues.
