Johanna Finnström Phd student

I am a doctoral student at the Department of Sociology, Stockholm University. I hold a master’s degree in Sociology from Stockholm University.

My PhD project is within Sociology of Law, with a focus on family law issues and mediation related to access to justice. My research interests are further connected to family sociology, family policy, gender equality and intersectionality. Methodologically, I am into mixed methods, linking quantitative and qualitative approaches.

I am currently part of two interdisciplinary research projects between sociology and law: “Fragmented child law – consequences of conflicting rules on child maintenance”.” and “Who Decides on a Child's Health Care? An Interdisciplinary Study on the Child's Right to Participation in Decisions Concerning Care and Treatment.”

I have previously worked as a research assistant on a range of research projects connected to the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI).
