About Sofia Strid

Sofia Strid is Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at Örebro university since 2017.

Strid’s research interests include feminist and social theory, and focus on violence and politics. Her research is financed by e.g. the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Institute for Gender Equality, and the Swedish Research Council.

Strid is Co-Director of GEXcel International Collegium for Advanced Transdisciplinary Gender Studies, board member of The Institute for Thematic Gender Studies, The Swedish Association for Gender Researchers, and the Nordic Association for Women’s and Gender Studies, and a representative in AtGender: The European Association for Gender Research, Education and Documentation.

Her current project, Violence Regimes (funded by the Swedish Research Council) brings together research from multiple disciplines to empirically and theoretically examine if and how the institutionalisation and production of violence in a given territory co-vary as to constitute a regime of violence, and how such regimes translate into (gender) welfare state regimes.

She is the former editor of Nordic Journal for Gender Studies[Tidskrift för genusvetenskap](www.tegeve.se).
