Information om forskning och undervisning

I am a literary scholar working in the intersections of narrative theory, feminist/queer/crip theory, embodied cognitive science, and medical humanities. My publications and teaching deal with the affective, embodied, and political dimensions of reading and representations of pain, illness, and disability in literature. I have written, for example, about psychosis, depression, and trauma in first-person narratives; close reading as an embodied and critical practice; languages of pain; political emotions; and Finnish and Anglophone modernist and contemporary fiction.
