I work as an Associate professor at the department of Social Work and have a PhD in political science. My research primarily focuses on how social and power related problems such as safety, gender equality and gendered violence are addressed in policy and practice. I am particularly interested in critical, feminist and (post)colonial perspectives of these issues and am currently leading two research projects and is participating researcher in a third:

• Project manager and coordinator of NOGVIS the "Nordic Network on Gendered Violence in Sámi and Inuit communities" (2025-2027 Nordforsk)
• Project manager of the project "Gendered violence in Sápmi: analysing and developing the social service’s possibilities to meet the needs of abused Sámi women" (2025-2027 FORTE).
• Participating researcher in the project "Together for Safety: The role of civil society in creating safe public spaces" (2024-2027 Formas), anchored at Umeå Center for Gender Studies.

During my post-doc position I was the main researcher in the project "Violence against Sámi women" (2022-2024, the Sámi parliament in Sweden).

In my dissertation "", from 2022 I examined how (un)safety in public space is addressed and given meaning as a political problem.

I am also affiliated to the research group Lávvuo - research and education for Sámi health, to Umeå Centre for Gender Studies and to the Arctic Centre at Umeå University.
