I am an anthropologist, my research interests include Memory Studies, Heritage Studies, Urban Studies and studies of ethnicity and nationalism. In the course of my research career I have participated in several international research projects focusing on urban environment, memory and heritage management, e.g., Life Forms in the Suburbs of Large Cities in the Baltic Sea Region (funded by the Swedish Research Council, project leader Prof. Karl-Olof Arnstberg, 1999-2001) and Memory of Vanished Population Groups and Societies in Today’s East- and Central European Urban Environments. Memory Treatment and Urban Planning in Lviv, Chernivci, Chisinau and Wrocław (funded by the Swedish research foundation Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, project co-ordinator Dr. Bo Larsson, 2011-2014). I was an MC member of the European research network COST In Search for Transcultural Memory (ISTME) in 2012-2016. Currently I participate in three research projects: MaHoMe. Making It Home. An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration (Kingston University, funded by NordForsk), SO-CLOSE: Enhansing Social Cohesion through Sharing Cultural Heritage of Forced Migrations (funded by Horizon2020), och De akademiska och kulturella fälten i Sverige ur ett 'postmigrations'-perspektiv (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond – RJ Dnr. P20-0137). I also teach at MACA programme.
