About
In June 2024, I defended my dissertation Unpacking Online Retailing: The Organization of Warehouse Work and Inequality
External link, opens in new window. where I studied the organization of work and inequality in Swedish online retail warehousing. The dissertation contributes with partly empirical knowledge about warehouse work and working conditions in online retailing, partly perspectives on how we can analytically approach inequality. The main focus is on gendered and racialized inequality.
In my role as a postdoctoral researcher, I will continue gender research in Human Work Sciences. During 2024-2026, I will study the so-called green transition and how it interacts with work and gender, with the mining industry as an empirical context. The project is financed by SUN - Natural Resources for Sustainability Transitions. External link, opens in new window.
