Born 1980, PhD in Global Christianity and Interreligious Relations (2016).

I have a broad interest in religious studies and in religion in relation to culture, society and politics. My studies have taken me from Jönköping, to Lund, Beirut, Malmö and Jerusalem before returning to Lund again for the doctoral program. My PhD dissertation focuses on several aspects of religion that have long interested me: religious meaning making, questions of identity, and how the relationships between religion and other cultural phenomena are being shaped and re-shaped in contemporary contexts. In it these questions are explored through an ethnographic study of evangelical volunteers in Jerusalem.

Other related areas of interest are Evangelical Christianity, religious life stories (particularly conversion stories), Christian language ideologies, the Anthropology of Christianity and the construction of religious identities in relation to modernity.
