Abstract

I´m a Professor at the School of Social Science. My research broadly focuses on gendered organizations, gender based violence, masculinities, femininities, and gendered power relations. Over the years, I have participated in many Nordic and European research projects. I served as Co-PI for the Icelandic part of GARCIA, Gendering the Academy and Research: combating Career Instability and Asymmetries funded by EU FP7. Currently I´m a Co-I in GEiO, Gender Equitable Interactions Online, funded by Chanse, and a PI in UISH, Understanding and Intervening against Sexual Harassment at work, funded by Nordforsk.
