I teach in History of Ideas at all levels. My teaching has mainly focused on the early modern period and the nineteenth century, but also on earlier and later periods.

Beyond History of Ideas, I have also taught at the Department of History, at Centre for Cultural Evolution, and at the Department of Geological Sciences, all at Stockholm University.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the interdisciplinary project "Cool Nature: Utopian Ecologies in Sweden 1780–1840" (funded by Olle Engkvists Stiftelse). My subproject examines how ideas about nature and climate interacted with ideas about emotions, masculinity, national identity, and progress in the years around 1809.

I am also one of the founders and conveners of the research network Network for the Study of Emotions and a member of the board of the Swedish Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies.

In 2023, I defended my dissertation Governing Through Emotions. Art of Government in three Gustavian Projects at Stockholm University. The thesis was awarded "Gustavianska stipendiet" by the Swedish Academy in 2024. It deals with ideas about political government and human nature that were actualised in the late 18th century. Three projects launched by King Gustav III are examined: the Order of Vasa (1772), the National Dress (1778) and the Swedish Academy (1786). Ideas and discussions on technologies of government and subject formation - which can be called art of government - are studied. The analysis is inspired by Michel Foucault's concept of governmentality and by the research fields of History of Emotion and National Identity. The thesis addresses how emotions and desires were problematised. Which human driving forces should be encouraged? Which should be discouraged? And why? How? Thus, it examines how a sovereign in the late 18th century could pick up elements that can be characterised as liberal in the art of government. But it is also possible to see how other, older, ideas about how human nature functioned and should best be governed existed in parallel.
