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

I am Professor of Intellectual history/History of Ideas. 

I am co-founder of Stockholm University Research Network of Cultural Memory Studies and 

member of the coordinating team of the national Doctoral School of the History of Political Thought. The school is funded by the Swedish National Research Council and runs during the doctoral cycle 2023-2027. I am also a member of Mnemonics Network for Memory Studies.

I have worked at Stockholm University since 2012, and received my PhD at the University of Gothenburg in 2007. I have been a Visiting Scholar at the Institut für Philosophie at Potsdam Universität, at Sophiapol Research Centre at Université Paris-X Nanterre and at New School for Social Research in New York City.

 


My current research focuses on history of philosophy, theory of history, historical time, memory and historical justice.
