Biography
Research interests
I mainly research the philosophy of history, existential ethics, philosophy of writing (hermeneutics, deconstruction, narrativism), the ethics of the human sciences, and memory studies. In particular, I have focused on responsibility in the discourses of the human sciences.
Porjects
From 2022, I have been active in the project Doing Justice to Experience: Relations to the Difficult Past in History and Memory. The project deals with the difficult relationship between memory and historical research. The difficulties investigated concern, on the one hand, how to consider the experiential authority of memory accounts in historical research. On the other hand, how historical research should also be able to function as a critique of memory. The project is led by Jonas Ahlskog (University lecturer in history at ÅA) and is financed by the Kone Foundation.
Currently I am working on a monograph, Existential Ethics and the Philosophy of Historiography: Transgenerational Life and Memory in Literary Culture.
