I apply feminist theories to explore human thoughts, creations, and relations, and what it means to be human at all. I often use qualitative and arts-based research methods such as archival studies, content analysis, multimodal analysis, aesthetic analysis, diffractive analysis, discourse analysis, policy analysis, qualitative interviews, focus group interviews, ethnographic fieldwork, and situated art intervention.

With a strong background within the arts & humanities, I have developed close collaborations with social and natural scientists working on artscience, natureculture, and human-more-than-human intra-actions. Theoretically, my work is inspired by feminist posthumanism and new materialism. Empirically, my research is increasingly connected to the Arctic where I have lived since 2014.

I am trained in Musicology and Media- and Communication Studies at the University of Göttingen and the University of Oslo and received my PhD in 2014 with a study of women composers in 19. century Norway. Since 2023 I am coordinating the Centre for Arctic Humanities at UiT.
