I am a professor and researcher at the Department of History. My research has primarily focused on Nordic Catholic cultural history in the 19th and 20th centuries. I have participated in several research collaborations and led the two interdisciplinary research projects The Female Monastic Movement in Scandinavia: A Female Counter-Culture in Modern Society and Christian Masculinity – A Paradox of Modernity: Men and Religion in a Northern European Context, with the results presented in anthologies, journal articles, and several monographs. Furthermore, I have been engaged in research networks on anti-Catholicism, anti-clericalism, and religious criticism from a transnational perspective, as well as on early modern suicide discourses, Enlightenment and religion, and the relationship between religion and materiality. In connection with my research, I have developed several thematic courses that explore the interplay between religion, politics, gender, and society.

My profile in Lund University research portal

Since the 1990s, I have been participating in and leading various national and international research projects and network collaborations, and I have presented my research at many conferences and as invited speaker, also outside the university. From 2005 to 2013, I was chairperson of the Historical Society in Lund, and I am a member of several scholarly societies, including Vetenskapssocieteten (The Scientific Society) in Lund and the Karl Johan Society in Uppsala. I have served on the Swedish Research Council’s review panel for historical sciences for nearly ten years and contributed as a reviewer for other research councils and foundations in Sweden as well as in the other Nordic countries. Furthermore, I have been actively involved for many years as a member of the collaboration council for the National Graduate School in Historical Studies at Lund University.

I have organized various types of conferences, from sessions and workshops to international conferences. Over the years, I have had numerous assignments as an expert and examination committee member, and I have been a faculty opponent in Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Germany. I have supervised many students writing theses at all levels within the history program and guided several doctoral students to their dissertations as both principal and assistant supervisor.
