Biography

I am currently in charge of three major research projects focusing on the northern space. In “Religous and Educational History of Northern Sweden” (NOKOUT), funded by two research programs at Umeå University, I study the representation of church history in non-academic writers’ publications of various genres, including textbooks, children’s books, travel books, biographies, articles in religious yearbooks and magazines, etc. Among the authors studied are Julia Svedelius and Carl Edquist. The NOKOUT project is linked to the Religious History of the North network (REHN).
