About me
I am currently a Researcher in the Department of History of the Uppsala University (Sweden), where I develop my work under the project Gender and Work.
My research focuses in global living standards, gender, and work and occupational structures since 1500. My work aims to tackle a number of issues in historical perspective, such as the rise and maintenance of inequalities, as well as the evolution of the wellbeing of past populations in compared perspective.
Among other roles, I am Co-Editor of Continuity & Change, a journal of social structure, law, and demography in past societies.
