PERSONLIG PROFIL
Jeg er Cand. Mag. i Engelsk fra Syddansk Universitet (SDU), MA i Afrika Områdestudier fra Københavns Universitet og ph.d. fra SDU, hvor jeg har været ansat som lektor i Litteraturvidenskab siden 2013. Jeg har undervist i litteratur på Engelskstudiet (SDU) siden 2004 og på Litteraturvidenskab (SDU) siden 2013. Derudover har jeg været gæsteforsker på Warwick University, Stanford University og Stony Brook University.
Jeg har udgivet tre monografier om hhv. sydafrikansk litteratur og apartheidhistorien; migrationslitteratur og kulturel hybriditet; og sanselige og affektive fremstillinger af sted i postkolonial litteratur. Jeg har redigeret tre bøger om hhv. stedets betydning i kunst, kultur og medier; litteratur og nymaterialisme; samt migration og æstetiske repræsentationsformer. Derudover er jeg medforfatter på en bog om litteratur, kunst og postmigration og har udgivet en lang række forsknings- og formidlingsartikler om postkolonial litteratur og teori, migrations- og multikulturel litteratur, hybriditetsteori, geokritik og stedsteori og, senest, om klimaforandringer og klimalitteratur fra det Globale Syd.
Ud over at integrere min forskning på universitetskurser, er jeg meget optaget af at bringe den videre i spil i undervisningssektoren uden for universitetet, og i 2022 modtog jeg BELMAs guldpris for bedste europæiske undervisningsmaterialer for Everyone Is Here (2021) – en undervisningsbog til gymnasiet baseret på min forskning i multikulturel litteratur. Jeg har udgivet en tilsvarende undervisningsbog, The Climate Divide (2024), om klimaforandringer og klimalitteratur fra det Globale Syd.
FORSKNINGSINTERESSER
Helt overordnet undersøger min forskning, hvordan litteratur repræsenterer, formes af og reproducerer verdensforståelser, og særligt, hvordan litteraturen udfordrer dominerende sociale, kulturelle og eksistentielle opfattelser af verden og virkelighed, og tilbyder forestillinger om andre måder at være i verden på. Alt dette med primært fokus på migrationslitteratur og postkolonial litteratur.
Min forskning er derfor båret af en interesse for litteraturen som et kulturbærende og kulturskabende rum, men også som et særligt erkendelsesrum, hvor nye eller anderledes verdensforestillinger og virkelighedsforståelser kan bryde frem og udforskes. Jeg er interesseret i litteraturens diskurser, moddiskurser og polyfonier, og dens formelle virkemidler, men også i særlig grad litteraturens affektive og sanseæstetiske dimensioner og deres potentiale til at overskride og erstatte f.eks. koloniale og undertrykkende reduktioner af virkelighed og virkelighedsopfattelse.
Aktuelle interesser
Siden 2022 har jeg forsket i klimalitteratur fra det Globale Syd ud fra ovenstående perspektiver, hvor min forskningsinteresse senest har bevæget sig i retning af affektteori og omsorgsetik. I 2025 begyndte jeg mit bidrag til udviklingen af det spirende begreb, omsorgsæstetik (”care aesthetics”). Jeg undersøger omsorg (”care”) som en generel drivkraft i social og klimamæssigt engageret litteratur, og særligt hvordan omsorg er indlejret i og intensiveres igennem æstetiske litterære former og virkemidler (som f.eks. narrative strukturer, synsvinkler, sanseligt, figurativt og stemningsskabende sprogbrug, osv.) på måder, der fremstiller nye omsorgsbetonede virkelighedsforståelser og forestillinger mellemmenneskelige og mere-end-menneskelige former for sameksistens.
FORSKNINGSOMRÅDER og FORSKNINGSTILGANGE
Mine primære forskningsområder omfatter migrationslitteratur, postkolonial litteratur og klimalitteratur fra det Globale Syd. Min overordnede tilgang er tværdisciplinær med inddragelse af historiske, sociale, kulturelle, politiske, filosofiske, økokritiske, æstetiske og litterære perspektiver på litteraturen, og overordnede teoretiske retninger, der præger min forskning, er diskursteori, postkolonial ideologikritik, hybriditetsteori, fænomenologi, affektteori, postantropocentrisk teori og postkolonial økokritik.
