I am a teacher at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences, teaching courses on sustainable eating and gastronomy. Before moving to Lund I taught courses on food and material culture, as well as conducting a thesis workshop for undergraduates at the University of Iceland.
Research
My profile in Lund University research portal
My current research is about organic food and modern food relationships. I am interested in how people create and practice food values when it comes to the production and consumption of organic food. In order to do so I explore the interplay between food producers, consumers and middlemen, and the role intimacy plays in establishing trust within the industrial food chain.
