I am Associate professor and Senior lecturer at the Division of Book History and teacher at the Division of Fashion Studies. My research interests cover a wide range of areas: mass-produced and instructive images, printing techniques, sewing patterns and the introduction of man-made fibres.
Currently, I am conducting research into Swedish primers 1700–1900, Arnberg’s corset factory in Höganäs 1893–1969 and working on a textbook on the history and identification of printed images.
My finished research project "Reading Patterns: Women, Clothes and Print Culture in Sweden 1881–1981", concerns the production, distribution and reading of paper patterns for home sewing of women's clothes in Sweden.
In my dissertation Botanical illustrations for the public: On the publication of Carl Lindman's Bilder ur Nordens flora (2013), I examined how the botanical plates were created, distributed and received based on the given conditions at the beginning of the 20th century.
