I am a Senior Lecturer in English with rather varied teaching experience. I have taught at Malmö Teacher Training College (Sweden), Kristianstad University College (Sweden), University of Cambridge (Great Britain), Ningbo University (People’s Republic of China) and University of British Columbia (Canada). Here at the Centre for Languages and Literature at Lund University I teach English literature and culture at all levels, from first-year courses to the Master’s programme LCM (Literature-Culture-Media). I supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s theses and have also co-supervised and examined Ph.D. theses within the field of English Literature.
My field of interest both as regards teaching and research is 18th and 19th century fiction, but I have also worked with the detective genre and juvenile literature. Most of what I have done applies some kind of gender perspective.
