Associate Professor

My research focuses on sexual abuse of power within law enforcement, which is a form of corruption where a person abuses their position of power in exchange for sexual services. I form part of the steering group of UU RESC, a research environment on how to understand, measure and prevent sexual corruption.

I work together with Malin Wieslander (IBL) in three research projects about sexual harassment within the Swedish Police Force. In addition, I work together with researchers at Uppsala University within a research environment on sexual corruption project about sexual abuse of power, i.e. that a person abuses their position of power in exchange for sexual services.

I teach at the introductory course in gender studies on sexuality and consent, and at the MA program in gender studies, mainly on sexual harassment, violence and abuse. I supervise and examine MA theses in gender studies, mainly with students that use qualitative methods.
