About me

Associate Professor in Economic History at the Department of Economic History and International Relations.

Teaching includes thesis courses and supervision in economic history and global political economy.

My research is primarily conducted across two fields:

1. Military Labour and Working Life.
E.g., the gendered division of military labour, military conscription, volunteer war work, the Swedish Armed Forces as a workplace, and more

2. Economic aspects of political rights.
In particular, economic restrictions on suffrage and eligibility for election.

 

Additional research interests include fundraising activities and the social meanings of money, as well as the economic and social history of war.

The Long Arm of Plutocracy

Economic Restrictions of Political Candidacy Eligibility in Sweden, Before and After the 'Democratic Breakthrough'

Universal Suffrage? Voting Restrictions and Disenfranchisement in Sweden after 1921

This project brings more nuance to the history of suffrage in Sweden. As history is usually written, 1921 marks the end of the struggle for suffrage. But rather than regarding the reform of 1921 as a definitive democratic breakthrough, the research project examines the events of the following century as a continuing but non-linear process of democratisation.
