Magnus Granberg is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Mid Sweden University. He serves as Director of Studies in Sociology and Deputy Dean, focusing on labor conflicts from a historical-sociological perspective, particularly the increased militancy of public professionals.

• Critical theory and intersectionality
• Marxist analysis of wage labor
• Neoliberalism and class struggle
• Real abstraction in capitalist societies
• Public sector labor movements

Granberg's research explores how capitalist forms like money and wage labor structure modern societies in the absence of democratic dialogue. His work connects Marxist theory with intersectional analysis to examine the co-constitution of economic forms and social inequalities. Recent publications focus on reactionary radicalism, post-Marxist theory, and case studies of labor conflicts in Sweden during the neoliberal period.

He has written extensively on nurses' collective actions and the evolution of class conflict patterns since the 1980s. His theoretical contributions address real abstraction, proletarian subjectivity, and the synthesis of social inequality with capitalist structures. Granberg collaborates with scholars like Tor Hammer and Kristin Linderoth on intersectional Marxist analyses.
