Research

  • The initial focus of my research has been studies on the relationship between
    gender, violence against women and women´s and their children´s health. As
    my career progressed, I collaborated with other researchers to study emergent
    social issues such as early teenage pregnancies, children´s resilience, and
    gendered constructions of stigma and discrimination to people living with
    HIV, Ebola related health seeking behavior among others.
    Currently, my research focuses on the intersection between masculinities,
    femininities, violence against women (VAW) and sexually transmitted
    infections (STI) among young people and migrant populations.
    To this end, I am currently the PI of three research projects:
    1.CTEST: Improving young Swedish men health service utilization for Chlamydia
    Trachomatis infection, detection and treatment. How can we do it? Project
    awarded by FORTE, Sweden.
    2.How do we improve the sexual and mental health of young men? An
    implementation project among young male migrants in Stockholm County. Project
    awarded by Stockholm County Council.
    3.PositivMas. Masculinities and violence against women among young people:
    Identifying discourses and developing strategies for change using a mixed
    method approach. Project awarded by Vetenskatpsrådet , Sweden in
    collaboration with Gender-Net EU. ( [1])
