I am adjuncted Professor of Theology of Religions and chairing the research seminar Global Christianity and Interreligious Relations. I'm specialized in interfaith dialogue and theology of religions, focused on Judaism, Christianity and Islam. At present, I'm working on a project on cemeteries in an interreligious perspective.

In the monograph Att ge plats för den andre (Verbum 2021), I study local interfaith councils, and explore Christian theological perspectives on Judaism and Islam.

I am a licensed high school teacher and have written in the field of religious didactics (see the monograph Utmaningsdriven undervisning, Verbum 2017). In my dissertation, I studied eschatology from the perspective of theology of religions: Hope and Otherness: Christian Eschatology and Interreligious Hospitality (2013). A revised version was published at Brill (2018).

I also work at the Church of Sweden national office in Uppsala as the theological advisor to the archbishop.
