I’m currently working on a research project featuring political identities and politics of multiculturalism discussing how integration projects and relations to public administrators locally affect immigrant women’s interest in political participation. The project includes a brief comparative analysis between American and Swedish conceptualization of multiculturalism and integration politics.

I’ve been teaching at the Department of Political Science at Lund University since 1989. Since I finished my dissertation in June 1996, I have been employed as a lecturer at the same Department, except for one year-and-a-half at the University College in Kristianstad.

I teach courses at undergraduate and advanced levels on issues such as democracy and political participation, civil society, transnational activism, political identity and methods in political science.
