Senior lecturer and researcher in Art History and Visual Studies.
My research interests include theories of photography and globalization. I am interested in how wider globalized phenomena incarnate differently in different places. For my PhD-thesis I looked at how contemporary photographers engage with transforming ideas around cultural identity and belonging in Turkey and Sweden. I am also interested in theories of visuality that go beyond familiar understandings of images as objects of representations and instead see images (in particular photographs) as embodied, situated and incarnated performances.
I have had a postdoc position at HDK-Valand Academy, Gothenburg University, researching contemporary artist’s engagements with the interwar period.
Currently, I am senior lecturer and head of the Masters program in Visual Culture.
