Palle Storm

Palle Storm is a Senior Lecturer at Stockholm University's Department of Social Work, where he conducts research on gender, race, and organizational conditions in elder care settings. He is an active member of The Care Research Group, which brings together scholars studying disability, aging, and long-term care related to social policy and organizational conditions.

Storm's research focuses on the intersection of gender, race, and organizational structures in care work, particularly examining how these factors shape workplace dynamics and care quality in nursing homes. His work explores the experiences of migrant care workers, men in care work, and the challenges of managing diversity in elder care settings. Storm has conducted comparative research between Sweden and Canada, analyzing how different organizational models impact care workers' experiences with gender and racial discrimination.

His publications reveal a consistent focus on intersectionality in care work, with particular attention to how organizational conditions either mitigate or exacerbate discrimination based on gender and race. Storm's research demonstrates that organizational models that allow for greater worker discretion in care provision create more inclusive environments for diverse care workers.

As a Senior Lecturer, Storm contributes to social work education while maintaining an active research agenda that bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in elder care settings. His work has significant implications for policy development and organizational practices in the care sector.
