Niklas Altermark is a researcher at the Department of Political Science at Lund University. His work focuses on ideas revolving around vulnerability, as a grounds for exclusion but also as a resource of critical theory, in order to understand the historical and present government of groups that are judged to be deviating. Altermark's articles have for example appeared in Disability & Society and Review of Disability Studies - An International Journal. Lately, he has been engaged in the Swedish struggle against austerity measures striking down on people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and mental health conditions.
