Interests and experience

  • Gender and migration
  • Gender and disarmament
  • Gender and emerging technologies
  • Gender and violent extermism

I received my Master's in Gender Studies from the University of Oslo where my thesis focused on the role that gender played in Polish men's migration processes to Norway. My research has mainly focused on how ideas of masculinity shape men's lives and what this means in relation to peace and conflict, and I have also worked on a number of projects where gender is taken into consideration at multiple levels and across different groups in society.

As a Research Assistant I contribute to a number of projects where often I focus on the gendered dimensions and implications of the project's topic. I have worked with a broad range of topics including emering technologies, migration, and inclusion in the military. I also oversee a Strategic Initative at PRIO to help build out PRIO's research portfolio focusing on masculinities in peace and conflict processes. Additionally I am the coordinator of the PRIO Migration Centre where I help to organize the Centre's activities and contribute to the development of PRIO's migration portfolio.
