I am a professor of modern history with research interests in cultural history as well as in social and political and not at least in gender history. Before I came to Lund university in March 2012, I worked at the universities of Stockholm, Hamburg and Bielefeld.

I received most of my academic training in Germany. My dissertation (Bielefeld university, 1999) was a comparison of Swedish and West German parental politics, 1945 to 2000. In recent years, I did research on tourism history and on European commemoration cultures.

Currently I work, together with scholars in Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, in a HERA project on the European spa as a transnational public space and social metaphor. I am also writing a book about history tourism.

I teach both in undergratuate and postgraduate studies, particularly on modern history and on theory and method.

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.
