My main scholarly interests lie in aesthetics, embodiment, materiality, and mediation. My PhD project, supervised by Linn Sandberg, studies men's digital life writing as a life-sustaining practice. It examines how sharing one's lived experience via specific digital mediums and media technologies supports one in exploring one's gendered self and coping with mental health difficulties.
I am affiliated with the Graduate School for Gender, Humanities, and Digital Cultures (GENHDI External link.) co-funded by the Swedish Research Council in collaboration with Södertorn University, Stockholm University, and Uppsala University. I also work within the research area of Critical and Cultural Theory at Södertörn University.
My background is in comparative literary and media studies. I graduated cum laude in Research Master's in Comparative Literary Studies from Utrecht University, The Netherlands.
