About me

I'm a PhD student within the national research school “Schooling in perspective: A graduate school in applied history of education”. My PhD project explores the Swedish "pupils movement" from a historical perspective using social movement- and civil society perspectives. 

I have my background working within various swedish nonprofits which has sparked a research interest in civil society in its broader sense. I have a double Bachelor degrees in Sociology and Educational Science, and a Masters Degree in Sociology from University of Gothenburg. In my masters thesis I studied historical transformations of how swedish nonprofits have communicated to affiliate volunteers.
