Sunnee Billingsley is a Professor of Sociology at Stockholm University. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Pompeu Fabra University in 2009. Her expertise spans a broad range of topics, including post-socialist demography, the demographic imprint of social mobility, as well as the development of intensive parenting norms in Sweden. Her main interest is in how social stratification, social policy, and social change shape population dynamics and life chances. She uses statistical analyses of both register and survey data in her work.

Recent and ongoing research engages with three main areas: 1) how intensive parenting attitudes impact health, fertility and careers in Sweden; 2) how climate change affects maternal, reproductive and child health in Eastern Europe and Central Asia; 3) the determinants of fertility.

The seminar is arranged by the Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University.
