I am a PhD candidate in Gender & Women's Studies at the University of Kentucky. My background represents a strong commitment to interdisciplinary teaching and research that is nestled between Political Science and Gender, Race, and Sexuality Studies. Thematically, my research considers how knowledge production shapes gender equality policy, and the possibilities and limitations of institutionalizing progressive ideals around gender equality and diversity and inclusion in both domestic and transnational contexts.
Bio
I am a Swedish-American dual citizen who has largely grown up between Lexington, Kentucky and Göteborg, Sweden. I hold a BA in Political Science from the University of Kentucky, dual MA's in International relations from the Patterson School of Diplomacy and in French Language, Literature, and Culture from Department of Modern and Classic Languages at the University of Kentucky. Currently I am an ABD PhD candidate in the Department of Gender & Women's Studies at the University of Kentucky.
Research
My research considers how knowledge production shapes gender equality policy, and the possibilities and limitations of institutionalizing progressive ideals around gender equality and diversity and inclusion in both a Nordic and transnational context. My work specifically engages with how the usage of progressive ideals in Swedish state feminist policy approaches are shaped by economic, social, and political rationales, along with the possibilities and limitations of those framings.
