PhD Research Fellow
Faculty of Social Sciences
Areas of expertise
Gender, Feminist theory, Digital media, Qualitative Research Methods
I am a PhD fellow in Social Science. In my research project, I study antifeminist men's rights activists on Reddit and their perceptions on gender equality, feminism and gender relations. I am interested in, for example, how they view men's position in contemporary society, how they portray gender relations and how their perception of being oppressed by feminism is constructed.
I am a member of the research groups Gender, Ethnicity and Equality (KEL) and Journalism and New Media (JOME) at Nord University and a mentee in the Institute for Research on Male Supremacism.
