Forskning
Min forskning kretsar kring samhällets riskhantering och särskilt utifrån individens perspektiv. Jag har en bakgrund inom folkhälsa och skadeepidemiologi vilket också speglas i min forskning som till stor del handlar om olika perspektiv på personskador och skadeprevention. Med personskador menas skador som uppkommit till följd av exempelvis bränder, fall eller trafikolyckor men också mer generella aspekter såsom evenemangssäkerhet eller idrottssäkerhet.
Forskningen kan i grova drag grupperas inom två områden. Det första området är studier kring risk- och skyddsfaktorer sam bakomliggande faktorer till skador. Det andra området är utvärdering av olika samhälleliga skadepreventiva åtgärder.
I ökande grad har min forskning kommit att beröra samhällets och individens förhållande till risk och riskhantering. I synnerhet gäller detta relationen mellan objektiv och subjektiv risk samt riskhanteringen och det samhälleliga säkerhetsarbetet i relation till andra samhällsprocesser och värden.
Jag var tidigare ämnesföreträdare för ämnet risk och miljöstudier samt föreståndare för Centrum för forskning om samhällsrisker. F.n. är jag delvis tjänstledig på Karlstads universitet då jag är adjungerad professor på Marie Cederschiöld högskola.
