New colleagues
For the academic year 2011/2012 we are happy to welcome the following new colleagues:
Malin Adermon, student counsellor
Malin has a magister degree in political science and has been working at both Uppsala University (with a gender equality report at the Department of Economics) and, most recently, at the Mid Sweden University as a junior lecturer teaching at the a and b level. She entered her position as student counsellor at our department on February 1, 2012.
Björn Jerdén, Ph.D. student
Björn Jerdén was accepted as a Ph.D. student in the spring of 2011. His dissertation is about the relationship between stability and conflict in East Asia, focusing on the great powers in the region: the US, China and Japan. Björn is also affiliated to the research unit of the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (Utrikespolitiska institutet).
Kristin Löfgren, deputy director of studies
Kristin is a political scientist and has previously worked at Södertörn University College as administrator in the staff of the Vice-Chancellor. Before this position she worked with administration at the departmental level at Södertörn. On September 1, 2011, she succeeded Pasquale Cricenti as deputy director of studies at the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University.
Jasmina Nedevska, Ph.D. student
Jasmina Nedevska was accepted as a Ph.D. student in the autumn of 2011. She describes her research as follows:
My doctoral research covers intergenerational justice, environmental ethics and feminism. I am engaged with the works by, among others, Thomas Aquinas, Alasdair MacIntyre, John Finnis, John Rawls and Simone de Beauvoir.
Anke Schmidt-Felzmann, post doc
Anke Schmidt-Felzmann joined the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University in mid-September 2011 as a postdoctoral researcher with a two year research grant from Vetenskapsrdet (Swedish Research Council). Prior to joining Stockholm University Anke worked for two years as a full-time Lecturer at Maastricht University where she taught in the European Studies programme. She defended her PhD thesis at the University of Glasgow and holds an MSc in International and European Politics from the University of Edinburgh. Anke's main research interest is in the area of international relations, with a particular focus on the European Union and its member states foreign policies. Her doctoral thesis was concerned with the EUs relations with the Russian Federation. It explored how national governments pursue their foreign policies towards Russia and sought to explain when and why they prefer to pursue national policy objectives in cooperation with the other member states at the EU level or bilaterally outside the EU framework. The thesis paid particular attention to member states energy supply security policies, to how they attempt to resolve their bilateral disputes with Russia and how they try and promote democracy and human rights in Russia. Ankes post-doctoral research project builds on her PhD research and investigates why, how, and to what extent national foreign policy choices affect the EUs capacity and effectiveness as a global actor, with its relations with Russia serving as an illustrative case study.
Eleonora Stolt, Ph.D. student
Eleonora Stolt was accepted as a Ph.D. student in the autumn of 2011. She describes her research as follows:
My planned PhD project focuses on the process of gender equality policy-making in the European Union, with particular attention to the work of the European parliament. For instance, I am interested in to what extent a political context beyond the nation state have the possibility to create conditions for political dialogues decoupled from the national premises related to gendered politics.
