I am a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology. As a lecturer, I am devoted to research and teaching on undergraduate and graduate levels. I have taught and done research at Swedish and British Universities. I am Associate Professor of Archaeology (Sw. Docent) since 2016.
My research focusses on, among other things, burials, burial practices and images of prehistoric bodies, especially from the Scandinavian Iron Age. I have a great interest in developing theories and methods. In several works, archaeological bodies are examined through different perspectives such as relational ontology, neomaterialism and affect theory. The bodies are also discussed from the view points of orders of power, gender relations and hegemonies, where sometimes structural and slow violence is of central importance. Presently, I am researching stone funerary orbs and slabs from the Scandinavian Iron Age as well as images of Viking Age mortuary reconstructions in social and academic media.
Apart from teaching and doing research, I act as co-editor for the series Archaeology of Prehistoric Art (BAR), the journal Current Swedish Archaeology and the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Art in the European Deep Past.
