About Anne-Charlott Callerstig

Anne-Charlott Callerstig is a researcher in Gender Studies whose work focuses on the implementation of equality, inclusion and human rights policies and on organisational and societal change. She is particularly interested in how equality objectives are translated into organisational policies, structures and practices, the links between (in)equality within organisations and the outcomes they produce, and the conditions and strategies that enable sustainable and transformative change.

 She received her PhD from Linköping University in 2014 with the dissertation Making Equality Work: Ambiguities, Conflicts and Change Agents in the Implementation of Equality Policies in Public Sector Organisations. Her research builds on perspectives from gender studies, political science, organisational theory and implementation studies.

 A central theme in her research is the relationship between policy ambitions and organisational practice. She studies how equality, inclusion and human rights objectives are interpreted, negotiated and implemented, as well as the dilemmas, tensions and institutional conditions that shape these processes. Her work addresses areas such as gender equality, discrimination, gender-based violence, intersectionality, diversity and inclusion, and social sustainability.

 Her research spans a range of policy fields, including labour markets and working life, education and skills development, public administration, innovation and technology, health and healthcare, and the green transition. In recent years, she has also examined how social sustainability and equality perspectives can be integrated into technology-intensive and innovation-driven sectors, including energy, transport and entrepreneurship.

 Collaborative and participatory research is a central part of her work. She has extensive experience of interactive and follow-up research conducted in close collaboration with public authorities, municipalities, civil society organisations and private-sector actors. Through these approaches, she studies organisational and local change processes while contributing to mutual learning and the development of knowledge, methods and strategies that can support more equal, inclusive and socially sustainable organisations and societies.

 Her research interests include:

– Equality policy, gender mainstreaming and diversity
– Implementation, governance and organisational change
– Discrimination, human rights and intersectionality
– Gender-based violence and violence prevention
– Organisational learning and participatory change processes
– Equality and social sustainability in working life and skills development
– Social sustainability in the green transition
– Gender, innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship

Anne-Charlott has extensive experience of working at the intersection of research, policy and practice. Before returning to academia, she worked at the Swedish Equality Ombudsman (DO) and its predecessor, the Equal Opportunities Ombudsman (JämO), where her work included policy analysis, method development, training and supervision related to equality and anti-discrimination. She has also served as an expert in several national and European assignments, including the Swedish Government’s Gender Equality Inquiry (Jämställdhetsutredningen, SOU 2015:86).
