Research interests

I am a historian who has also worked for several years in various multidisciplinary institutions and institutes. I arrived at HELA in September 2021 as a university lecturer in the field of transnational and comparative history. I have always been interested in different areas of the humanities and social sciences and different periods of history. My main focus is the history of Northern Europe during the "Long 19th century", but I have also worked on recent and contemporary history, especially Nordic society and politics.
