I am associate professor and senior lecturer in history with focus on gender and intercultural relations. My main research interests concern modern and contemporary European history. Her projects are linked to the fields of migration and refuge studies, humanitarian aid and relief activities, the history of anti-Semitism, Jewish history, European memory culture, and international relations in the Baltic Sea area, with special attention given to democratization processes.

My analysis is driven by interest in social power structures and social categorisations that pre-condition cultural and social contexts. Epistemologically my work is inspired by discourse analysis, intersectionality, narrativity and the use of oral sources in history writing, as well as source pluralism. Approaches that are often applied in my empirical studies include sensitivity to the gender dimension, processes of social inclusion and exclusion, and social categorization.

The currently published volume is titled "Förintelsen & Sverige – tiden för, under, efter" (Holocaust & Sweden – time before, during, after), and is co-edited together with historian Karin Kvist Geverts. This anthology is primarily intended for history teachers who teach Holocaust history.

My publications focus often on democracy issues. The contribution Epistemiskt våld - vad är det? External link. (Epistemic violence – what is this?, 2024) is on epistemic violence as a form of structural violence concerning academic knowledge production. This contribution was developed in collaboration with the Center for Violence Studies at Örebro University. Additionally, in a co-authored chapter titled "Normalizing Migration through a Project-Oriented Approach to Teaching History" (2024), she contributed to a German-language anthology focused on historical didactic theory.

My upcoming publication, is an edited volume "Exploring Contemporary Challenges in Global Politics and Society," which is scheduled for publication in 2025.
