About me
Research
In June 2024, I will defend my dissertation Unpacking Online Retailing. The Organization of Warehouse Work and Inequality External link, opens in new window., which is based on a study of five online retail warehouses in Sweden. The dissertation contributes with knowledge about how gendered and racialized processes and practices (re)produce inequality - between different groups of employees (such as managers and employees) and between different groups of warehouse workers. Furthermore, the dissertation suggests that there are three analytical points of entry to from where to approach inequality – the workplace level, the field of work level and the worker level – which together help us understand its manifoldness.
My research interests concern the places and organization of work, gender and race/ethnicity, inequality, abd ethnographic method and phenomenological theories to understand these.
