Professor at the Department of Child and Youth Studies, Stockholm University. As an ethnographer, I have explored gendered and generational aspects of parenting and family life; affect, embodied action and identity making of children, youth, and violent men. I have been involved in several government investigations on men, gender equality and gender-based violence.
