RESEARCH INTERESTS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
In my recent research I have focused on diversity and inclusion issues, such as corporate governance, work-life-balance, and the future of the workplace. I am interested in studying women and men across levels, functions, and geographies to learn about women’s experiences in business, barriers to their career advancement, and individual and organizational strategies leading to success.
As a political scientist by training I have been studying political participation on all levels and the advancement of women in political parties, parliaments and democracies.
