Associate Professor in the History of Architecture with a background in the field history and theory of art.
I am an Associate Professor in the History of Architecture with a background in the field history and theory of art. In my PhD I investigated how architecture was used as marketing tool for universities and other actors in Sweden in the 1990s. My research concerns the spatial infrastructure of culture and especially houses of culture, kulturhus, which since the 1950s have been playing an important role in how culture is distributed in cities and also in how culture is used by cities.
From 2008 I worked with the development of UMA – Umeå School of Architecture and have had different roles within the department. I have also been Head of Department at Umeå Academy of Fine Art between 2017 and 2021.
I have been involved in different projects, for example:
- Umeå Urban Forum (Umeå Municipality and The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth)
- Culture and Cities (CERUM – Centre for Regional Science at Umeå University)
- (Umeå Municipality and Umeå University
