About me
- I am a PhD student at Karolinska Institutet and a member of the social
gerontology group at Aging Research Center (ARC). I have a master's degree in
Public Health from Stockholm University (former CHESS) with a focus on
inequality in health and a BA in Sociology from Stockholm University.
The overall aim of my doctoral work is to increase the knowledge and
understanding of the family’s role as a provider of cash and care over the
life-course and how these transfers influence gender and socioeconomic
inequalities within and across generations.
I'm affiliated to the National Graduate School on Ageing and Health - SWEAH
[1].

Research
- The master thesis [1] explored the role of perceived teacher support on
student health and whether schools' student composition and gender made a
difference in this relationship.
The bachelor thesis [2] focused on differences in health among swedish and
foreignborn based on socioeconomic factors, social network and family
relationships.

Teaching
- Pedagogical activities include supervising and mentoring master students,
teaching medical students and staff at KI how to interact with patients,
their families and how to handle ethical dilemmas as well as lecturing and
being a seminarleader in educational settings both within and outside of
KI.
I initiated and ran a collaboration project between ARC and Stockholm School
of Photography resulting in a short documentary and the photo exhibition
/Who is "older" in Sweden today/? Who is considered “old” today? – ARC
(ki-su-arc.se) [1]
Moreover, I was a student representative in KI's group for a new pedagogical
plan according to Strategi 2030.
