About me

My academic background is mainly in Human Geography (MSc, BSc) and History of Ideas (BA). My research interests are mainly linked to meaning-making practices during transformative geographical and social circumstances, with a specific focus on place-making, landscape interactions, and memory practices. With my master's thesis, for example, I explored collective memory among workers at the railway Roslagsbanan in Stockholm and the significance of this memory during changing geographical, social, and organisational conditions.

Since 2024, I am a PhD Student at the Department of Human Geography at Stockholm University.
