I am professor in Sociology at Department of Sociology, Stockholm University.
My research currently aligns with three overlapping themes: (1) the existence and degrees of discrimination within different situations, (2) the consequences of parenthood for the careers of men and women, and (3) the causes of school segregation. I use quantitative methods, and more recently I have used experimental, and therefore related, methods.
At the Institute for Futures Studies I participate in the research project "Ethnic discrimination in a segmented labor market – when and where does discrimination occur?".
