Biography

Katrin Ceesay's research focuses on the experiences of violence and abuse among older individuals living in nursing homes. During her PhD period, she worked as a development manager on human rights issues related to elderly health and social care administration in the City of Gothenburg. Her research addresses equality issues from a broad perspective, emphasizing inclusion and non-discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, function, and age. Ceesay is particularly interested in the societal structures that create conditions for different groups of people, seeking to bring this knowledge into her research endeavors. She coordinates administrative work in elderly care, aiming to manage and prevent violence in close relationships, with the goal of allowing everyone to live a life free from violence. Her work examines the various forms of violence—psychological, physical, economic, material, and sexual—that older adults may be subjected to, whether intentionally or through neglect, and investigates the factors associated with such abuse by staff within nursing homes.
