Miia Bask serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Uppsala University, concurrently holding leadership roles as Director of Studies for Sociology at undergraduate and advanced levels, member of the University Board, and board member of the Swedish Sociological Association. She also contributes as Editor for the journal Sociology (British Sociological Association).
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Sociology from Umeå University (2008)
- Docent in Social Policy from Åbo Akademi, Finland (2015)
- Research Professor position at NOVA, Oslo Metropolitan University (2016-2018)
As a quantitative sociologist, Bask investigates social stratification and inequality through computational social science methodologies. Her work examines social exclusion dynamics among immigrant populations, welfare problem accumulation across life courses, and burnout-school dropout relationships. Recent expansions include population-scale network analysis and child welfare systems research, maintaining consistent focus on structural disadvantage mechanisms while adopting innovative register-data approaches.
Current publication trends (2022-2025) reveal intensified examination of foster care matching processes, mental health impacts during pandemics, and disability-inclusive welfare systems—reflecting both continuity in inequality research and responsive adaptation to contemporary social challenges through Scandinavian welfare contexts.
Through her Director of Studies role, Bask shapes sociology curricula while her editorial and board memberships demonstrate significant disciplinary engagement. Though specific grant details remain unlisted, her sustained high-output publication record across top journals indicates robust research infrastructure support.
