Signe Svallfors

I am a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Sociology at Stockholm University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Sociology and Center for Innovation in Global Health at Stanford University, and the Global and Sexual Health research group at the Department of Global Public Health at Karolinska Institutet, where I remain an affiliated researcher. I have previously been a guest researcher with Columbia University and el Colegio de México. I earned my doctorate in sociological demography from the Department of Sociology at Stockholm University in December 2021.

My research focuses on the intersection of violence, social inequality, and health dynamics, with an emphasis on reproductive rights and gender-based violence in Latin America. My primary research line focuses on the impact of armed conflict and violent crime on sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. I also study attitudes toward sexual and reproductive health and rights. More broadly, I am interested in social determinants of population health. For more information, see my website: https://signesvallfors.com/
