Research subject Feminist Cultural Studies

The #metoo petitions in Sweden describe the structural oppression exercised through sexual harassment and sexual violence that takes place in most professions and contexts.

The new digital age that took off in the 1990s has created more opportunities for filmmakers and artists to visualize new imaginary futures and to raise questions about human embodiment and gender norms in a highly technological society.

Transnational adoption has largely been a transaction of non-white children from the Global South to white families in the so-called Global North driven by its consumer demand—a ‘quick fix’ to solve the problem of infertility and racism in the West.

This project investigates men’s gambling in contemporary Sweden as a cultural phenomenon.

The project explores conflicts about drag queens reading stories to children. The focus is on the shifting and contradictory ideas about the child and the best interests of the child that are expressed in the debate, as well as the conceptions of gender relations, the future and the good society with which these are associated.

This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the Royal Theatre in Sweden during the turbulent year of 2017.

My PhD research project is based on my theoretical interest on gender studies, critical whiteness studies and the desire of the past. To connect this into a digital culture I investigate the concept of the digital housewife as a cultural phenomenon in a retrotopic era and through a postfeminist sensibility.

My dissertation in gender studies (2022, forthcoming) focuses on how temporality is experienced and negotiated in age play.
