I have experience of teaching at of a wide range of courses in ethnology.

I am the course manager for Cultural Heritage and Politics of Memory - Europe in the 20th Century at advanced level, a hybrid course aimed at both Swedish and international students.

Since 2014, I am the coordinator of the Bachelor program in museum and heritage studies.

Previously, I have taught at Halmstad University and Södertörn University.

In my thesis, I analyzed social hierarchies in (re)production of contemporary royalty in Sweden. By studying arenas where royalty was present, I showed how social authority was pruduced at the intersection between notions of exclusivity and commonness. The analysis also demonstrated the symbolic and actual importance of the material in the exercise of power, and how rituals forms social superiority.

After the doctoral thesis, a critical cultural heritage perspective has been consistent in my research. In a postdoctoral project ...smells better, sips nicer.... On gender, nation and leisure in the vintage boating field (2014-2016), the revival and use of the past by vintage boat enthusiasts was in focus. In addition to the enthusiasts' individual meaning-making, the study showed how the relationship between official cultural heritage instances, such as museum authorities, and pleasure-driven actors, such as enthusiasts and boat clubs, affected memory-making in the field.

In a study of the transformation of the harbor in Gustavsberg from a factory area to a residential area, cultural heritage processes in urban planning were analysed, with the aim to show the consequences that urban planning's focus on so-called "creative environments" has for cultural heritage production.

2017-2019, I was active in the project Everyday pictures and stories. Cultural transformations in the Nordic Museum's collections. The aim was to develop methods for analysis and making digitized archive material available. My contribution was about the "visual silences" that can arise when photographic archival material is digitized and published on the internet.

2019-2021, I worked within the interdisciplinary project Making a Military Heritage: Gender and Nation in Sweden's Cold War History with a focus on how remains from and memories of the Cold War are reinterpreted as cultural heritage in Sweden today. The project applied new perspectives to military heritage and dealt with previously unexplored aspects of the Swedish Cold War era. The interdisciplinary approach, which involved ethnology, political science and architectural history, provided new knowledge about how historical geopolitical conditions are interpreted and materialized in society today.

A research interest concerns discourses and practices in relation to so-called alien invasive species. The starting point is that the idea of invasive species is shaped by cultural notions of belonging and alienation, which in turn are based on ideas of an (ideal) historical landscape.

I am happy to seek interdisciplinary collaborations.
