Presentation

I am a Lecturer in Social Work with a professional background in social work and sexology. I serve as the programme director in sexology and teach several courses in the Master’s Programme in Sexology. My research interests primarily concern commercial sexuality, transgressive sexualities, and the intersections of sexuality and vulnerability.

I completed my PhD in 2024, with a dissertation focusing on men’s experiences and understandings of purchasing sex, as well as how social workers conceptualize the purchase of sex as a social problem.

Since then, I have been working on a project together with Charlotta Holmström on young men’s understandings and experiences of #MeToo and sexual consent. I am also involved in a project with Torkel Richert and Robin Björkas examining sexual health among young people in compulsory care.
