Presentation

Main research interests: working-class literature, literature and the precariat, trade-union periodicals, comics, literature and ethnicity, and urbanity in literature.

I am the leader of the project "Precariat, Precarity and Precariousness in (Post-) Welfare-State Scandinavian Literatures", which is funded by the Swedish Research Council.

I am also member of a project – led by Nicklas Freislebend Lund at the University of Southern Denmark and Financed by the Augustinus Foundation – about literature in the Danish trade-union press.

I coordinate a Nordic network of scholars reseraching working-class literature and I am the president of The International Association for Scandinavian Studies.

I am one of the editors of the book series Malmö University Studies in Class and Culture.
