Person

I am a PhD candidate in comparative literature since 1 September 2021. My dissertation project studies representations of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea as ocean regions in Swedish prose. It combines research from the blue humanities and literary geography. Through analyses of well known as well as less well known authors and literary works I show how the literary imagination of the ocean changes historically, and how the Baltic Sea and the North Sea are constructed as imagined ocean geographies.

Previously I have a masters degree in comparative literature from Uppsala University, 2020, as well as a one year masters degree in aesthetics from Uppsala University, 2021. During 2019 I was also an exchange student at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, where I studied comparative literature and critical theory.

Areas of interest: blue humanities, literary geography, media theory, history and philosophy of emotions
