I am Associate Professor (docent), deputy director for Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK), and Professor II at Centre for the Study of Professions (SPS), Oslo. I take a special interest in the history of knowledge, environmental history, and the history of popular capitalism. I run a blog on academic writing: https://ayearofacademicwriting.blogspot.com

In 2022, my primary research focus is the transformation of the Swedish savings- and investment culture, from the late1970s up to the present. This project is part of the research programme ”Neoliberalism in the Nordics: Developing an Absent Theme” (financed by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond).

Recently, two translations of my Swedish work has been published in English: A Year of Academic Writing: Tools and Techniques for Early Career Researchers (Studentlitteratur) and The Environmental Turn in Postwar Sweden: A New History of Knowledge (Manchester University Press/Lund University Press).

In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
