Presentation Ninni Carlsson, PhD and senior lecturer, works as a researcher, teacher and pedagogic developer at the Department of Social work. She is specialized in gender based violence.

Ninni’s professional training within the field of Social Work is Social Pedagogy and Social Care, with an additional background in Medicine and Human Sciences. Her experience of Social Work practice has mainly been aiming at supporting and empowering women and children in exposed social positions.

In her PhD thesis, A time of telling (2009), Ninni examines the phenomenon of working through child sexual abuse, and it’s personal, social, structural and historical conditions.
