VISTA examines gender-based violence in organised sport and works to strengthen prevention, safeguarding, and support across Europe. The project combines an EU-wide survey with interviews, case studies, photovoice, and expert workshops, bringing together people with lived experience, athletes, coaches, sport organisations, and policymakers.
By generating robust evidence and co-developing practical tools, VISTA aims to improve policy and practice and help create sporting environments in which everyone can participate safely and with dignity.

Authors
Associate Researcher
I am an Associate Researcher at the Department of Sociology and Work Science and a Guest Lecturer and PhD candidate at the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG), University of Gothenburg. My research focuses on the application of advanced statistical modelling, experimental designs, and mixed-methods approaches to social processes and relationships. I work with multi-country surveys, survey experiments, longitudinal data, and computational text analysis to study inequality, institutional contexts, and the formation and expression of attitudes and public opinion.
My doctoral research applies this methodological focus to theories of media effects and audience behaviour, treating them as temporally contingent social processes. It examines public opinion, news framing, agenda-setting, and selective media use. My PhD research is affiliated with the Varieties of Media Effects (ERC) research programme.
Before starting my PhD, I worked at the SOM Institute and the Laboratory of Opinion Research (LORE) as Deputy Chief Analyst.
