Short presentation

I am employed as a postdoctoral researcher in the project Catching the Hunter in His Own Trap: The Reception of Vanessa Springora’s Consent. My research interests lie in the intersection of feminist cultural studies, queer theory, and literary reception, especially in the digital sphere.

One day a week I also work as a research coordinator for the centre WHOLE.

Biography

I have since December 2025 been employed in the project Catching the Hunter in His Own Trap: The Reception of Vanessa Springora’s Consent, together with project leader Sigrid Schottenius Cullhed.

My PhD thesis Yearning Hours: Desire, Darcymania, and Readerly Attachments in the Digital Jane Austen Fandom was written in the transdisciplinary research environment Language and Culture at Linköping University. The thesis has an expansive understanding of texts and readers, and in addition to Jane Austen's novels, it also examines cinematic adaptations as well as digital forms of expression such as memes, animated GIFs and hashtags.

Alongside the thesis I have studied other examples of literary reception in a digital context, for example how the dark academia movement draws from Donna Tartt's novel The Secret History.

I am also a reviewer for the scientific journals Barnboken and Samlaren.
