PhD in historical archaeology (2008), Lund University.
Research interests: migration, colonialism, material culture, collection history.

My research focuses on medieval and early modern migration and diaspora and on colonial history, especially Swedish and Danish colonial entanglements. I have researched late medieval diaspora communities in the Baltic Sea region, creation of colonial landscape in the colony of New Sweden and Pennsylvania, materialization of the ideology of discipline in the17th-18th-century mines in Sapmi, colonial collecting and construction of knowledge, and gendered experiences in the 19th-20th century Danish West Indies. Currently, I am investigating Danish settler colonialism in North America and settlers’ interactions with Indigenous people through the prism of collected objects.

I am an editor of the Settler Colonial Studies journal and council member of the Society of Post-Medieval Archaeology.
