Person

My research interest lies at the intersections of social, political, legal, and economic history, from the 18th century to the present. I am particularly interested in inheritance, property, and family, and how these are intertwined in various contexts. Currently, I am leading three parallel research projects on entails, inheritance, and property distribution within the Swedish nobility, from the 17th century to the present. I also coordinate the Nordic Heritage Network (DNA), a multidisciplinary Nordic research collaboration. Starting in 2025, I will lead the three-year research project Genealogies of Old Wealth (GLOW), funded by the Swedish Research Council. The project examines wealth and inheritance within Sweden's economic elite between 1850 and 1950.

Previously, I have conducted research on themes as agrarian history and family history, presented in the two monographs (in Swedish) with focus on family farms 1845-1945 and sibling households from 1870 to the present.
