My research centers on questions of 19th, 20th and 21st century Scandinavian literature, with an emphasis on Norwegian literature. I have devoted attention to the meaning of the body, representations of trauma, text and image studies, and I have written literary history. My current main project belongs to the memory studies field, where I am exploring contemporary representations of the Second World War in Norway.
My current research project is Making Memories. Contemporary Aesthetic Articulations of Norway in the Second World War.
