My previous academic appointments were with the Higher School of Economics in Moscow and the University of Bremen in Germany. I wrote my dissertation in sociology with the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences. Publications out of this include articles, chapters, and my book, The Capitalist Personality: Face-to-Face Sociality and Economic Change in the Post-Communist World. Overall my work focuses on the connection between intimacy and normative order, and I have published on themes close to family sociology, anomie, the commodification of sex, post-socialism, and the life course. My current main research endeavor is a multi-method investigation of loneliness in modern societies. I am a member of the Teaching Academy of the Lund University Faculty of Social Sciences. Currently, I serve as the Programme Director of the Social Scientific Data Analysis master programme.
