About me

I am a doctor in sociology (Ph. D.) and a senior lecturer. My research interests concern religion, migration, culture, music, and nostalgia. At the moment, I research spiritual care in Swedish prisons.

My first postdoctoral project was conducted at Åbo Academy University in Åbo, Finland (2015-2017), and financed by the Finnish Cultural Foundation (Suomen Kulttuurirahasto) and Waldemar Von Frenckell's Foundation (Waldemar Von Frenckells stiftelse). My second postdoctoral project was conducted at Theological Institution in Uppsala (2017-2019) as a part of the IMPACT Program (Impact of Religion – Challenges for Society, Law, and Democracy). 

I was the chairman of the Association of Female Researchers (FKF) in Uppsala 2019-2022, whose purpose is to be a meeting place for women researchers, provide interdisciplinary contacts and collaborations, protect the interests of researchers, and work for equal career conditions for female and male researchers.

Since 2011 I am the organizer and module leader of the International Summer School of Social Work and Practice in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I am responsible for the module on Social Work and Spirituality.

In September 2022, I participated in Forskarfredag - Låna en forskare and lectured about my research in several gymnasiums and schools in Stockholm.

I am the correspondent for Serbia in the EUREL project (Sociological and legal data on religions in Europe and beyond; https://www.eurel.info/).

In addition to a university degree in sociology, I have a BA degree and a MA degree in Vocal Studies. I have been active as both a singing teacher and a singer for many years.

Since 2019, I have also been a trained vocational teacher from Åbo Academy University in Vasa, Finland.
