About Anna-Karin Larsson

Anna-Karin Larsson is a historian and Associate Professor of Social Work. She currently serves as Vice Dean for Gender Equality and Education at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Research
Larsson’s research spans two primary areas: the health and well-being of children and young people, and men’s violence against women.

Her work in medical and social history focuses on children and gender from the 19th century to the present, examining medical discourses on childhood, youth, gender, health, and illness. Within this field, she also investigates children’s relationships with companion animals and the role these relationships play in promoting well-being.

Her social science research is conducted within the project RISKSAM, where she participates in several sub-studies. LIVSAM examines how risk management, based on the RISKSAM model, affects the quality of life of victims, as well as their perceptions of societal support and the consequences of post-separation abuse. VERKSAM explores how police officers and social workers assess and manage risks related to intimate partner violence and stalking, and their experiences of internal and external collaboration. The recently completed project Risk Management in Practice applied a rural and sparsely populated area perspective to professional work with intimate partner violence, identifying specific conditions, challenges, and needs in these contexts.

Teaching
Larsson teaches in the Social Work Programme and the Master of Science in Healthcare Councelling, and supervises bachelor’s, magister’s, and master’s theses.

Collaboration and Professional Roles
She is an active member of the steering committees for FlickForsk! Nordic Network for Girlhood Studies and the national organization Tjejzonen. In collaboration with Rúna Baianstovu, she edits the publication series Working Papers and Reports Social Work.
