Forskning

I specialise in the study of Linnaean natural history, with a focus on the Swedish and Scottish Enlightenments. My research explores early modern travel, the practices of collecting, and the development of the concept of 'race' during this period.

I am the principal investigator of the research group Instructing Natural History: Nature, People, Empire. It includes scholars and research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council, Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenberg Academy Fellowship) and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. We investigate the history of instructions in relation to natural history travelling and collecting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. You can read about our research and activities here: https://instructingnaturalhistory.com/

I am one of the co-founder of an international consortium WOMNH, which promotes collaborations between researchers and museum professionals. Our consortium examines the roles women played in the making of natural history collections and museums, highlighting their often overlooked presence and invisible labour: https://womnh.hypotheses.org/
