Doctoral Student in Comparative Literature

Forskning

Ph.D. student, former folk high school teacher, and leader.

My current research deals with natural science, technology, nature (or the non-human) and intermediality in new danish and nordic literature. It is a project that primarily examines the relationship between contemporary hybrid literature/art and what is broadly called new materialist philosophy in the danish author Amalie Smiths collected books. I have previously written about Thomas Mann and the history of medical science, Theodor Storm and ecocriticism, green philosophy, Helena Granström and ecocriticism and about the relationship between politics and literature. As a result of my literary and cultural investigations, I occasionally write more popular articles for the mainstream media.Ìý

I am a member of the Research Group for Culture Studies (KuFo), a member of KAU's grand committee, and a member of the committee for the Danish fund Østifterne. I have been the vice-chair of the board of the Graduate Student Association at KAU.

In addition to my work, I also give lectures and talks, and here I have experience from Odense Central Library, University of Southern Denmark, Danish Cultural Institute, Askov Højskole, Oure Højskole, Vejen gymnasium, Folkuniversitetet in ¹û¶³´«Ã½, Ribe Domkirkes onsdagshøjskole and various university conferences.
