Professor Manuela Boatcă has been installed as the Kerstin Hesselgren Visiting Professor for 2025 at Södertörn University on 4th of March. She is a leading expert on the intersection of post-colonialism, the sociology of gender, world-systems analysis and inequality theories, and historical-comparative sociology. A Romanian native, Manuela Boatcă has dedicated a main part of her research to gender inequalities in Eastern Europe and Latin America. After holding positions in Germany, Brazil and the US, she took on the Professorship for the Sociology of Global Inequalities at Freie Universität Berlin in 2012 before becoming Professor of Sociology at the University of Freiburg in 2015. She is a board member of the German Sociological Association, for which she also serves as representative for international relations. 

Professor Boatcă‘s presentation will build on one of her recent publications where she addresses the globally unequal distribution of wealth and gender inequalities, with particular focus on the (historical and present) coloniality of citizenship and gender and on Roma enslavement as European history.
