I am a research fellow at the Department of History, Lund University. My research is mainly devoted to the history of early modern Europe, and deals with topics in the intersection between politics and culture. I have a particular interest in Swedish eighteenth-century political discourse, media and politics. Another major research interest is the history of knowledge, and in particular, how knowledge circulate in wider society. I also have a general interest in international relations and peace and conflict studies, including the topic of peace in eighteenth-century Sweden.
