My research is about the transformative and healing potential of art and aesthetics. I combine knowledge from art history, philosophy, medicine, neuroscience, and artistic research.
I lead the research project Art Worlds Apart, funded by the Swedish Research Council 2022–2026, about knowledge exchange between the humanities and medicine.
I am a researcher in the research program At the End of the World: A Transdisciplinary Approach to the Apocalyptic Imaginary in the Past and Present, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond 2023–2028.
I coordinate, together with Martin Garwicz and Christine Wamsler, the thematic collaboration initiative Existential Resilience: Contemplation, Aesthetics, Compassion (ERiCi), 2023–2025, with around twenty researchers as well as external partners.
I have developed several courses on art and existential resilience, e.g., within EUGLOH (European University Alliance for Global Health).
In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
