I am a senior lecturer in English literature. My main research interest is in early modern theatre, and my doctoral thesis deals with scepticism and belief in the representation of witches and witchcraft in plays of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I have also recently produced a scholarly edition of a late sixteenth century manuscript on witchcraft which is under contract at Manchester University Press.
I am currently teaching academic writing and supervising degree essays in Lund, and I also teach at Mittuniversitetet.
