Francophone Cultural Studies is, above all, an epistemology of social-historical contexts related to the French language.

In this research project, we study how market reforms within the Swedish school system have changed the labour market for preschool staff, by investigating whether exposure to competition from private contractors has affected wages, staff turnover, and sickness absence among preschool staff.

PhD project about the freedom of expression in armed conflicts, in an increasingly digital world.
This project offers a historical perspective from the 16th century until today on how literature and art explore questions around the Anthropocene, ecologies, climate change, and sustainability.
French is a language with a long history, which developed from the spoken Latin. Spoken language changes all the time. The reasons for this are social, demographic, geographic and/or political, factors that are also valid on modern language change.

This research area deals with literature from France and the French-speaking world.

Discourse analysis is the study of how language, when used in communication, acquires meaning, purpose and becomes coherent. The meaning of linguistic expressions derive not only from linguistic forms and propositional content, but from the interplay between the text, the situation and the cultural context in which the utterance is produced.

In historical linguistics research are being made on phonetic change. French has in fact undergone radical change concerning sounds.
The research at Stockholm University encompasses diachronic and historical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis.

The focus on research in French has been editing texts in Old French. The number of texts is very high and there are several genres and periods, from the 12th century to the 16th, where the period of Modern French begins. These texts are a good base for linguistic studies.
An interdisciplinary field of research, drawing on linguistics, as well as psychology, education and other social sciences.

How do difficulties from childhood affect international adoptees in Sweden?
This collaborative project, coordinated by KTH (Prof. Minna Hakkarainen), addresses the structural complexity of lignin, a key biopolymer in plant biomass that remains only partially understood at the molecular level. The project aims to map lignin structure in detail and connect its inherent heterogeneity to controlled fractionation and functionalisation strategies. By combining advanced analytical methods with selective chemical and catalytic approaches, it seeks to identify well-defined lignin building blocks that can enable reproducible material design.

Infants placed in out-of-home care are among the most vulnerable children in the child welfare system, yet they remain relatively understudied in Swedish research. This project examines infant placements from a national and longitudinal perspective.
Research project awarded funding by Region Stockholm to examine how legal and contractual frameworks can enable fair value-sharing when health data is used to develop AI in healthcare.
FORFUN aims to develop novel techniques for creating colloidal particles from lignin and hemicelluloses, with the intention of harnessing their potential in the field of life science materials

This project investigates the historical reception of Imadaddin Nasimi, a 14th-century Hurufi mystic and poet executed for heresy. It explores how his historical image transformed from a condemned heretic in Mamluk records to a venerated Sufi saint in Ottoman historiography.
