General research profile:

I may be associate professor of musicology and senior lecturer in intermedial studies, but these disciplinary boundaries don't say much about who I am and what I do. Reality is something other than what these constructed discplinary boundaries expresses. Instead, I consider myself a critical humanist who works across boundaries. Boundaries are markers for my way of moving into and out of different fields with the multimodal human being at the center. In light of this, I rather consider myself a porous sponge that absorbs what the context offers. Regardless of what this might be, something always gets stuch in the sponge - even dirt can be useful for the thought. Since Januar 2023, I have been loosely sketching ideas that focus on medical terms and their etymological origins, with the aim of integrating them within humanities, and I am also part of a collaborative project with the Swedish Blood Cancer Association as a blood cancer patient.

Keywords: (critical) musicology, intermedial studies, cultural sciences, semiotics, hermeneutics, phenomenology, (medical) humanities

In addition to my research, I teach and supervise students in different subjects. My teaching experience is broad and multifaceted, but there is a common denominator: culture as signifying practice. I teach and have taught within the following subjects (in parenthesis exemplification):

• intermedial studies (the cultural study of intermediality and supervision of bachelor theses)
• cultural management (cultural theory and supervision of bachelor theses)
• publishing studies (cultural theory and supervision of bachelor theses)
• book history (material culture)
• history of ideas and sciences (the intellectual history of astrobiology)
• digital cultures (aesthetics and narrativity and supervision of bachelor theses)
• musicology (method and theory and supervision of bachelor theses)
• fashion studies (supervision of bachelor theses)
• archive studies (supervision of master thesis)
