About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Government at Uppsala University in Sweden. My research focuses on political institutions and representation from a gender perspective in a wide variety of contexts, including sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Scandinavia. In November 2020, I defended my dissertation "Adaptive Resistance: Power Struggles over Gender Quotas in Uruguay" that deals with the (male) political elite's resistance to progressive reforms and women's political inclusion. Currently, I am researching gendered working conditions and leadership in the Swedish Parliament. I have published articles in journals such as Comparative Political Studies, Perspectives on Politics, Politics & Gender, International Political Science Review, Parliamentary Affairs, Representation, and Politics, Groups, and Identities.
