Linda Kridahl appointed Docent in Demography
The Department of Sociology congratulates Linda Kridahl, who was recently appointed as Docent in Demography at Stockholm University. In the expert statements on which the promotion is based upon, it is described that Linda Kridahl "is and has been an invaluable driving force" in the development and broadening of the subject of demography at Stockholm University and its Demographic Department (SUDA), a description that is also used for her teaching in various courses at the Department of Sociology.
Kridahl's focus is on elderly research. Since one of the biggest societal challenges in Sweden is the development towards an aging population, this type of research has a particular value. Her efforts are described as "completely decisive for the broadening towards more of aging research that has taken place at SUDA" and that she "in a powerful way [has] contributed to the design of and research production". In addition, she has been "proactive in establishing new research, leading new research collaborations and also organizing new data sources for future quantitative elderly research".
