Person

I am an academic language consultant at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, with the aim to support the different subjects’ work to develop the academic literacy of students. As such, I give lectures and workshops in academic reading and writing for students on different levels, in both Swedish and English.

After receiving my PhD in English Literature from Lund University in 2008, I worked for many years as a lecturer in English, focussing particularly on courses in academic writing for researchers and students in other subjects. My research has primarily focused on the spatial complexity of texts and thinking, for example in the works of Joseph Conrad, Henry James, and Elizabeth Bishop. Above all, I’m fascinated by the ability of the written language to extend our cognition, so that we can think thoughts that would otherwise be too complicated. I'm also much engaged in how the AI revolution can affect our writing and thinking.
