The Heritage Seminar at Stockholm University

The Heritage Seminar at Stockholm University gathers around a shared interest in heritage and museums. From various academic disciplines, we explore how memories, objects, and events are preserved, as well as how different actors select, interpret, and communicate different forms of heritage.

Network Language and Power

Language and power as a field of study has a long tradition, but it has become more relevant in recent years due to the rise of populism and societies becoming increasingly polarised.

Cultural memory studies

What is the cultural significance of memory? How and why do we remember the past, not only as individuals but across generations, as social and cultural communities? And how do these memory practices relate to politically and emotionally charged questions of national or ethnic identity, historical traumas, and experiences of dislocation, loss and forgetting?

About me

My primary areas of research are cultural linguistics, media linguistics and historical sociolinguistics. I am interested in the relationship between individual and collective language use and the processes of meaning-making in different media during various time periods. A central question which I often return to is how linguistic resources are used to create social and cultural meaning and how humans shape their world through language.

I hold the position of Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in German linguistics at Stockholm University.
