I am Associate professor (docent) and senior lecturer at the Department of culture and media studies, Umea university, Sweden. My research interests concern narrativity, life stories, professional identity and mobility among highly skilled professionals. My PhD thesis was an analysis of how Polish well-educated professionals told their life stories after the fall of communism. An important theme has been international mobility of professionals: Polish doctors working in Sweden; Swedish doctors going on assignments in the global South with aid organisations like the Red Cross or Doctors without Borders; I have also written on "internationalisation" of the Swedish humanities as ideal and practice. One of my recent projects focused on how teachers, storytellers and pedagogues in adult education and museums worked with telling and sharing of life stories as a creative, inclusive and emancipatory practice. My ongoing research project concern teachers' reflections on the use of generative AI and the effects on their profession. I am also a PI on a project about migrant nurses in the Swedish health care.
