Field of work

My research focuses on nature and the relationship between nature and people in Scandinavian literature. I also work with representations of minorities in Nordic literature, and I am particularly interested in representation of Sami people and Sami literature. Currently, I am working on a project on the representation of plants in Scandinavian picture books for children from 1900 to today.
