Om mig
I am a Researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University, and the INVEST and FLUX Consortium at the University of Turku and the University of Helsinki.
I received my Ph.D. in Sociology in 2019 and my habilitation (Docent in Demography) in 2023, both at Stockholm University.
In my current project, I analyze new trends in partnering, fertility, and population processes in the Nordic countries (Funded by the Swedish Research Council, Grant 2020-06426).
I am interested in population theory, fertility, family partnering regimes, kinship, and household structure in historical and contemporary societies.
