She leads the research group Literature, Media and Society and is actively involved in major research projects and editorial work.
Her research interests span Nordic literature, poetry, modernism, literary sociology, media ecology, and literature's political dimensions. She explores interdisciplinary and intermedia forms, literature beyond the book, and creative writing, with a strong emphasis on how poetry intersects with social communities and ecological themes.
Her recent publications reflect a deep engagement with 20th- and 21st-century Nordic poetry, including monographs on Henrik Nordbrandt and modernist movements, as well as contributions to digital poetics and ecocriticism. The works demonstrate a consistent focus on genre theory, author studies, and the societal role of literature.
