Jag är docent i historia och forskare vid Mediehistoria, Institutionen för kommunikation och medier. Jag forskar om internationell mobilitet i kalla krigets Europa, europeisk integration och visuell kultur. I projektet "Holidays behind the Iron Curtain", studerar jag turism från väst till Östblocket som politik och praktisk erfarenhet, t.ex. genom diplomatiska förhandlingar, semesterfotografi och guideböcker. I tidigare projekt har jag studerat fiktionsfilm och minnen av kommunismen i Tyskland och Tjeckien.
Jag koordinerar forskningsplattformen DigitalHistory@Lund, är recensionsredaktör för Journal of Tourism History, medredaktör av Tourism and Travel during the Cold War (Routledge 2019) och medförfattare till The History of the European Travel Commission 1948-2018 (ETC 2018).
