Prior to that, I worked as Research Director at the Nordic Council of Ministers´ gender equality unit NIKK (Nordic Gender Institute) at the University of Oslo, Norway, and as Acting Professor and Associate Professor at the Department of Gender Studies at Linköping University. In the 1990´s I worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Economic History, Stockholm University, where I also completed my Ph. D.

I have been teaching courses mainly on master and graduate levels in history. I have supervised several doctoral students to the completion of their dissertations, and I am currently the main supervisor for two. I have a long experiece of working with issues related to research supervision and have, among other things, acted as a Director of Studies for the PhD program in the Department of History. I also co-direct courses on research supervision at the Centre for the Advancement of University Teaching at Stockholm University, with focus on learning and teaching at the research level, legal aspects of doctoral supervision, ethics, and gender and diversity in supervision.
My current research interests fall in the broad area of history of science and university history, in a feminist perspective. I work since 2014 on an international research program SPICE, "Scientific Persona in Cultural Encounters", with collleagues from the Netherlands and Belgium. My other areas of interests include gender history and modern social and economic history, as well as Nordic equality politics, and I have been a leader of a number of research projects in these areas. I have also an interest in the pedagogy in the supervision of research.
