About Sofia Strid
Sofia Strid is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies.
Strid’s research departs from feminist social theory and focuses on intersectional violence, violence as a post-disciplinary research field, gender (in)equality architectures, and policy, and is financied by eg. the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Institute for Gender Equality, and the Swedish Research Council. She has produced and co-produced more than one hundred articles, chapters, books, reports, proceedings and conference papers and delivered some twenty research reports to the European Commission.
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. She is the vice chair of the
Her current project, Violence Regimes (2018-2021), is funded by th Swedish Research Council and 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).
