Elien Dalman

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Departments of Sociology at Stockholm University and Lund University, connected to the demography units at both universities (SUDA and CED). I attained my PhD at the Department of Economic History at Lund University in Dec 2022.

My research is in the field of quantitative social sciences, and is highly interdisciplinary. My work revolves around persistent and structural social inequalities. I primarily use linked Swedish census and register data from 1880-today to study this.

I am interested in the intergenerational, institutional, structural, and persistent drivers of social inequalities in life-courses: educational and labor market outcomes, but also demographic trajectories. Examples of such drivers I study in my completed and ongoing work on Sweden are socio-cultural groups represented by name type (e.g. nobility, educated elites, national minorities), gender, parenthood, and outsourcing of domestic work.

These last years I have supervised and examened bachelors- and masters theses, taught econometrics (with Stata), quantitative data analysis for the social sciences (with R), and sociological theory.

My office is at Frescati, B-house, 8th floor, room 815.
