I am a historian of the medieval and early modern Baltic Sea region with a particular interest in religious cultures, interreligious encounters, and the politics of memory. I am engaged with questions of colonial legacies in the medieval North, the medieval roots of racism and antisemitism, and how stereotypes and hostilities towards religious minorities developed in Nordic societies. Other areas of my research explore how sanctity and devotion shaped communities in the later Middle Ages, and how medieval figures and traditions have been reinterpreted in modern cultural memory.
