About me
I received my PhD from Stockholm University in 2006 and subsequently held positions as a lecturer and researcher at several universities in Sweden and abroad, including in France and Singapore. My longest position was as a senior lecturer in the Department of Film and Literature at Linnaeus University (2009–2018). Since late 2018, I have been based at Stockholm University in the Department of Media Studies. My teaching and research focus on film, often in relation to literature and other art and media forms. I currently also serve as Deputy Head of the Department.
Courses on gender and moving images, Swedish film culture, cultural criticism and ecocriticism. Supervision of bachelor's, master's and PHD level theses.
The current research project (VR) explores authors who write for the cinema, with a particular focus on women authors such as Astrid Lindgren, Stina Bergman and Ulla Isaksson.
Research topics include adaptation/transmediality, artistic processes (in particular screenwriting), children's films, film tourism, ecocriticism, women's agency in filmmaking, Astrid Lindgren's filmmaking, Ingmar Bergman's filmmaking, film pedagogy, representation of HIV, artistic research.
