Biography
Senior Lecturer at Department of Language Studies, With my colleague Dolly Jörgensen I organised an international symposium and am editing a collection Visions of the North in Premodernity, which investigates where, who, and what was seen and defined as North over two millennia. My own contribution examines medical theories of climate and interrogates contemporary critical framing of these ideas.
