Main research and teaching areas
- Sociological perspectives on and explanations for (un)health
- Work, working hours and "work-life-balance"
- School choice and school segregation
- Scientific method with focus on quantitative method
Current research
Today, my research time is mainly devoted to the project "Work less, live more? Voluntary part-time work and consequences for health, well-being and quality of life" where, together with Rebecca Selberg at the Department of Gender Studies, I investigate why many people choose to voluntarily reduce working hours and what consequences this has for health and well-being. With this project, you can say that I have returned to the object of my doctoral thesis; how social contexts and structures in different ways affect how we feel.
Teaching
I have previously mainly dedicated myself to teaching quantitative methods at various levels and also written course literature on the subject.
I have also worked on developing and coordinating our new bachelor's programme in sociology. Over the years, in addition to my employment at the university, I have had various assignments related to scientific method, mainly as a "method consultant" in relation to school development and evaluation work."

Report
Background
For my doctoral thesis I investigated social explanations for the fact that some people are more likely than others to suffer from indoor environment-related ill health (the so-called Sick building syndrome (SBS)). After that, I changed tracks and devoted some time to the school choice system in Sweden and school segregation in the city of Malmö, Sweden.
