Jag har också undervisat doktorandkurser i akademiskt skrivande och litterturdidaktik. Sedan 2023 är jag utbildningsledare för grundlärarprogrammen F-3 och 4-6.

Education

D. Phil. in English Literature (2010) from Oxford University, United Kingdom; M.St. in Research Studies in English Literature (2002), Oxford University; M.A. in Comparative Literature (Litteraturvetenskap) (2000), Göteborg University; B.A. in Comparative Literature (1994), Göteborg University; Journalism (1997), JMG, Göteborg University. 

Research

My general research areas are contemporary American literature and culture, more recently with a focus on sustainability and literature. 

Previous research has dealt with theories of life writing and women's writing. I have also published within the area of transcultural approaches to literature and have an interest in adaptation studies.

The monograph Writing Feminist Lives (2017), in which I outline auto/biographical approaches to the historicizing of the modern women's movement, was published in Palgrave MacMillan's "Breaking Feminist Waves" series. I have also co-edited (with Dr. Kate McLoughlin), the anthology Tove Jansson Rediscovered (2007).

My current research deals with the use of picturebooks to increase pre-service teachers' awareness of sustainable development education in the English subject. I am also interested in human-animal relationships in contemporary women's fiction.
