Short presentation

My research interests include canon formation, literary criticism, and the relationship between form and content in literature over time. My monograph, Strindbergs lilla röda (with designer Nina Ulmaja), was nominated for the August Prize in the Non-Fiction Book of the Year category in 2019. I’m part of the research group WeStAc and an affiliated researcher at the Center for Arts, Business & Culture, Stockholm School of Economics. I’m an editor at Respons and a critic at Dagens Nyheter.
