I am a researcher and teacher in gender studies.

I defended my doctoral thesis Recognizing Endo: How Gender and Recognition Shape Experiences of Endometriosis in 2026. The dissertation explores lived experience and recognition of the chronic illness endometriosis. I focus on how experiences of illness are shaped by the ways in which the surrounding society, in the form of welfare state, working life, and close relationships, responds to the individual in need of healthcare and support. How do gender dynamics and recognition, or misrecognition, affect experiences of body and illness?  

I have a background in Gender Studies and Cinema Studies. My primary research interests revolve around gender and health, focusing on human existence as embodied intersubjectivity. I explore how bodies are lived as social, relational, and political entities that are inseparable from their situation, materiality, and surroundings. My aim is to understand the continuous flow of recognition that is essential to the development of subject and world alike. These interests connect me to key issues in feminist phenomenology, recognition theory, continental philosophy, crip theory, welfare-state studies, and intersectional analyses of bodies and power. Within my fields of interest, I want to contribute with empirical research and theory development. 

In my MA thesis, I analyzed the role of recognition for women's lived experience of austerity politics in the Swedish welfare state (in Swedish): The Chain of Precarity: Embodying Austerity Politics in the Swedish Welfare State.
