My doctoral and postdoctoral projects explored the role of the visual arts and literary genres in shaping and reflecting (post-)national identities in Scandinavian and Scottish culture. My current research centres on posthumanist theory and eco-criticism in cinematic and literary contexts. In other words, I have always been interested in how texts function as spaces for the negotiation of collective identities; what kinds of imagined communities emerge after the nation state, and how can we understand their entanglement with more-than-human entities?...I edited the anthology Northern Constellations: New Readings in Nordic Cinema (Norvik Press, 2006), and my work on Nordic and Scottish literature and film have appeared in various books and journals including New Cinemas: Journal of Contemporary Film, Synsvinkler: Tidskrift for nordisk sprog og litteratur, Scandinavica, and Language and Literature. Ongoing projects include a volume on the film Festen, and an anthology of eco-critical essays on Nordic culture, in collaboration with Christopher Oscarson of Brigham Young University.
