Research

I am currently working on a joint book about the three Scandinavian saint kings in Protestant history writing with colleagues from Denmark and Norway.

Earlier I have been doing research within the projects "Seeing and enacting the social order. Cultures of difference in early modern Sweden, and "St Erik - idol or father of nation? The conception of domestic saints in Swedish history writing in the 17th and 18th centuries", and also on the concept of time in Early Modern society and the connection between public names and local identity.
