I am the director for the LLM program in European Law, and course director for the undergraduate courses in constitutional law and European Social Law. I teach European Law, Constitutional Law and Public Law. I supervise students and doctoral candidates.
My research focuses on European Law with special interest in Social Security Law. I also conduct research in national as well as European constitutional law. My thesis “Suveränitetserosion?” (2015) analysed the impact European Law has on Member States’ Social Security Models. A monograph based on the thesis, “The European Union and Social Security Law, has been published by Hart Publishing in 2017. My current monograph on third country nationals´social rights in Sweden, “Sociala rättigheter åt alla och envar?” was published by Rättsfonden in 2020. The project was financed by Torsten Söderbergs stiftelse.

BookRead more about Free Movement of Persons in the Nordic States2023. Katarina Hyltén-Cavallius, Jaan Paju.Can it be argued that there exists a concept of Nordic citizenship, founded on inter-Nordic cooperation and its relationship with EU law and EEA law? Researchers from all five Nordic States (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) explore the tensions, gaps, and overlaps arising from the interplay of EU citizenship, EEA law, and the Nordic initiatives that aim to facilitate cross-border mobility of persons in the region. The analysis takes a dual approach. Firstly, it tracks the legal development of nationality law in Nordic states. Secondly, it sets out the rights of residence and access to social rights that follow from the three different regimes. It asks if the Nordic States, through their regional cooperation, are 'going beyond' EU free movement law, making naturalisation to a citizenship in a Nordic state particularly attractive. This important new work gives a unique perspective on EU citizenship and free movement law.
