I am part of the European Research Council-funded research project "Performing Citizenship: Social and Political Agency in Non-Professional Theatre Practice in Germany, France, Britain, Sweden and Switzerland (1780-1850)" at the Institute of Theatre Studies at LMU in partnership with The University of Warwick.

My research interests include theatre and performance in the Nordics (with particular focus on Sweden), critical historiography, theatre and democracy, as well as questions around theatre ethics and accessibility.
