About me
I am a PhD student in History at the Department of History at Stockholm University.
My research interests include Material Culture, Textile history, Urban History and Climate History during the medieval and early modern periods.
My thesis research focuses on early modern consumption and material culture from a climate historical perspective. Through exploring textiles and dress in Stockholm 1590–1609, the thesis aims to trace changes in everyday practices of the townspeople who had to deal with the challenges of climate change during two of the coldest decades of the Little Ice Age.
