About me
I am Professor of Intellectual history/History of Ideas. I am also Director of PhD Studies at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics.
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 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.
Research
My current research focuses on history of philosophy, theory of history, historical time, memory and historical justice.
