Personal profile

Research

In my PhD thesis, I explore how acts are attributed meaning as sexually violent and morally wrong. I am especially interested in how these moral and categorial boundaries are negotiated, and how such negotiations affect victims of sexual violence. I draw on both a multifactorial survey experiment as well as focus groups. I am especially interested in how legal classification and logics affect how acts are attributed meaning as sexually violent.

In autumn 2025, I will be a visiting researcher with Professor Liz Kelly at the Child & Woman Abuse Studies Unit at London Metropolitan University.
