PhD, musicology.

I am a musicologist with a focus on music history and music analysis. In my research, I combine historical and music-analytical methods to try to understand how music can function as a latent or actual force in historical contexts characterized by social, political, religious and philosophical patterns and conflicts. I am also interested in music's relationship to sound environments and how it interacts with other art forms.

Speltoken: Hugo Alfvén och rosens klang – my book about composer Hugo Alfvén's (1872–1960) life and work in relation to social, political and aesthetic reform movements around 1900 – was published by Gidlunds in March 2022.

In 2020–22, I was Associate Professor (substitute) and coordinator of the bachelor course in musicology at Lund University. I am also a producer at the music unit Odeum, where I organize public panel discussions and lectures about music.

Since 2005, I am a music and opera critic in the daily newspaper Sydsvenskan.
