Research
<p>In my dissertation project <em>Choirographies</em>, I investigate choirs and their members in different urban and rural places in contemporary Sweden. I highlight the role of music and religion for members in Swedish sacred- and secular choirs. Based on this, I investigate what choirs can tell us about contemporary Sweden? The research is situated in between music geography and geography of religion.</p>
<p>My research interests focus mainly on identity, capital, urban/ rural dimensions, postsecular theory, religion, non-religion, GIS and mixed methods.</p>
Teaching
<p>My teaching activities focuses on the Spatial and Social Planning Programme and the Tourism Programme. In addition, I also teach geography didactic.</p>
Collaboration
<p>I am part of the graduate school at the Centre for Research on Sustainable Societal Transformation (CRS) and a member of the Centre for Geomedia Studies.</p>
