I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Education at Stockholm University. 

In 2023, I obtained the title of docent in sociology at Uppsala University and in education at Stockholm University. 

My current research concerns the conditions related to success and failure in careers and education in the arts.

In my postdoc project (2019-2022), "The Making of a Literary Career after the Debut," I created and used career databases and longitudinal interviews. I investigated the pattern within creative careers, where only a minority of artists continue in their careers after their debut (e.g., after the first book, first album, directorial debut, etc.).
