Senior Lecturer
Department of Social WorkAbout Katarina Hollertz
Background
I am a social worker and associate professor in social work. I have an MA in comparative European social studies from the University of North London. 2010 PhD in social work at Lund University in 2010. My main research areas concern the organization of social work, activation issues, care for the elderly and educational issues linked to social work.
Ongoing research project
2024-2027 Work ability - a study of organizations' boundaries and case managers' assessments, FORTE-funded project, about work ability assessments within the Swedish welfare state. John Brauer, Örebro University, is the main applicant. Also participating is Lisa Wallander, Lund University.
2021-2024 Moral stress and moral agency in Swedish elderly care. The starting point for the project is that elderly care's challenging working conditions and ethical dilemmas in the work create a breeding ground for moral stress among employees. The project will provide more knowledge about how moral agency can be promoted and contribute to increased quality in elderly care. The project is carried out in collaboration with three professional groups within elderly care in three municipalities, local politicians and trade unions. Funder: FORTE (within the framework of applied welfare research). Project manager: Sara Hultqivst, employees Katarina Hollertz and Magdalena Elmersjö.
Completed research projects
2019-2022 Pathways to employment. FORTE-funded project, led by Professor Mikaela Starke. Co-worker Tina Olsson and Katarina Hollertz. Every year, thousands of people in Sweden participate in labor market interventions. Interventions for people who are long-term unemployed are aimed, among other things, at young people, individuals with disabilities, migrants and the elderly without higher education. There are a variety of initiatives provided by various businesses that aim to support people who are out of work.
The studies also show that there are interventions that are more or less effective.
The overall aim of the study is to understand how different interventions work in practice, how they are implemented and what consequences they have for the participants.
2018 Local labor market policy with a focus on autonomy and participation: A user perspective on the gradual job and knowledge lift. The project is financed by the City 91̽. Collaborator in the project: Sara Hultqvist.
2015-2018 The audit culture and the administrator: A study of the Employment Service and the Social Insurance Agency. Research project funded by the Riksbank's anniversary fund to study governance processes within government agencies in the light of a changing welfare state. The project is led by Professor Kerstin Jacobsson. More information about the project
2012-2015: Localise (Local worlds of social cohesion), an EU-funded research project involving six European countries (Poland, France, Italy, UK, Germany and Sweden). The study examined local variations and strategies in working with people who are far from the labor market. Project manager Professor Martin Heidenriech.
