Short presentation
My primary research interests lie within the field of social and legal history, and I am particularly intrigued by how women and men defended their rights during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the effects these individual actions could have for larger developments in society. I write my dissertation within the Gender and Work project (http://gaw.hist.uu.se/).
