About me
I have been working at the Department of Public Health Sciences (previously Centre for Health Equity Studies, CHESS) since 2005. In 2011, I defended my PhD in sociology and I was appointed associate professor of sociology in 2014. In 2018, I become senior lecturer in public health sciences and since 2023 I am professor of public health sciences.
Since 2024, I am the director of CHESS (chess@su.se) and responsibility for the Nordic Interdisciplinary Cohort Network (ICON: http://www.iconresearchnetwork.com)
I am currently the manager of the following courses:
- Master thesis in public health sciences, advanced level, 30 credits
- Management and description of quantitative data, advanced level, 2.5 credits
- Basic statistical analysis, advanced level, 2.5 credits
- Statistical data modelling, advanced level, 2.5 credits
In addition, I supervise students at the docotoral students.
My research focuses on how social, economic, and health-related disadvantages are reproduced across generations as well as how various risk and protective factors over the life course may either reinforce or break this reproduction. I am chair of the steering committee for the Stockholm Birth Cohort Multigenerational Study (SBC Multigen).
