Person

I have a PhD-degree in History, and work as a teacher and an academic advisor at the Department of History.

The Old Norse sagas interest me, preferably in relation to a historiographical approach of how the sagas have been used. I have been working with fictive kinship in the Old Norse sagas in a large project exploring how the early hominid brain evolved from its beginnings 3-5 million years ago to the modern human.

I teach different courses, for the moment on Swedish history (in English), as well as bachelor theses in History. I am responsible for our on-line courses, and have taught on Scandinavian culture.

I work as an academic advisor at the department, guiding students in their studies and informing them on admission and requirements, degrees, international studies and careers. I am the instructor for our SI-leaders and contact person for student with disabilities. For more information on Study guidance.
