I am a researcher tied to the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK), where I am starting up a postdoc project called "All is one: Holistic knowledge ideals and conflicts from romanticism to the anthropocene".
My thesis, Two Quests for Unity (2021), is a study of John Dewey's and R. G. Collingwood's thought in relation to philosophical idealism and political liberalism. Previously, I have studied various cultural sciences and have written bachelor's dissertations in philosophy and comparative literature covering issues on identity, narration, trauma, memory, and the relationship between historiography and fiction.
My teaching experience includes supervisning, the history of liberalism, Dewey and the history of pedagogy, Freud and the history of psychoanalysis, Foucault and French anti-humanism, historical perspectives on dystopianism, and the transnational history of the Haitian Revolution.
