I teach sociology and organization theory in the Human Resource Management program and in the Business and Economics program with a specialization in Service Management. I also teach social psychology in the Sociology program and qualitative methods in Criminology B. In addition, I supervise theses in sociology and criminology, as well as on the Master’s Program in Leadership and Organization. In my teaching, I aim to develop students’ critical and analytical skills and to connect historical perspectives to contemporary societal challenges.

My research examines how discourses of morality shape the boundaries of inclusion in welfare systems. I analyze both historical and contemporary media data, drawing on moral panic theory and moral regulation as theoretical frameworks. Current projects include studies of the moralizing language of health insurance in twentieth-century Sweden.

I am program coordinator for the Human Resource Management program and a member of the Department’s Education Committee.
