Research
My research interests focus on labor market issues, with workers often at the center.
My dissertation focused on regional resilience by contextualizing gross employment changes and workers’ mobilities back to employment after major layoffs. The empirical articles analyzed how the industry mx influence redunndant workers' chances of quickly finding a new job, how workers move between places and sectors upon reemployment, and how these transitions impact successful labor market reintegration.
My current research explores regional occupational spaces, skill matching, gender-segmented labor markets and career trajectories, layoffs, and the impact of new technology on workforce staffing. My research is conducted in collaboration with scholars at Umeå University, the University of Gothenburg, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.
My main teaching responsibility is primarily on regional development and in econnomic geography, on both bachelor and master level.
