I am a folklorist by training and have studied quite different topics within folkloristics, cultural history and cultural studies. I started my career in memory studies, with an emphasis on memory production, memory practices and memory policy. I hold a from Linköping University (2007), where I wrote my dissertation on Norwegian school trips to the memorial sites Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück. I have also worked with collective grief and memory practices in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on July 22, 2011.

After I defended my dissertation, I started a project on the reception of natural disasters in a historical perspective (funded by FRIHUM and SAMKUL, NFR 2010-2014). The project got me interested in climate change and imaginaries of a disastrous futures. From 2017 to 2019, I was the PI of the project (KLIMAFORSK, NFR). I am currently the PI of the follow-up project (2021-2025, SAMKUL, NFR). What connects my work on memory policy, natural disasters and climate change is not only an interest in crises and disasters, but also an interest in temporality and historicity.

I have a great interest in tradition archives and the history of folkloristics. I am currently part of the leadership group of the digitization project (INFRASTRUCTURE, NFR, 2020-2027).
