Presentation

My name is Anna Hart, and I hold a B.Sc.H in Mental Health Nursing along with a master’s degree in criminology and sexology. I am a part‑time PhD student at Malmö University and work within the Municipality of Malmö with a focus on SRHR.

My doctoral project focuses on both the professional perspective and participatory research with young adults with intellectual disabilities. It builds on my licentiate thesis, which explored young adults’ experiences of sexuality and consent. The aim is to examine how professionals can strengthen the life situations of young adults with intellectual disabilities, particularly regarding relationships and sexuality, and to contribute knowledge that can improve support services and promote their quality of life.
