Research:

From 1995 to 1999 I was conducting a nordic project about "Cultural processes in nordic woodland communities". During this project period I collected a lot of sources from different aspects of life in the woodland communities in Trysil and Värmland. Now I am trying to concentrate some of the time I have available for historical research within my job, on investigating this material for new porposes. There are a lot of different questions to be raised, and a lot of different ways of answering them, by exploring the historical processes who have happened within peoples life in woodland communities and in connection to the forests.

At the same time I will try to continue my engagement within the international network that has been established during the nordic project between historians, ethnologist and other cultural researchers who are interested in woodland communities, including also those who are combining interests like this, with a critical engagement in theoretical and metodological questions within cultural history, micro history and historical anthropology. If you are interested in cooperating on some of these fields, and if you like to work together with other colleges trying to build up something new and exiting, don't hesitate to send me a mail about your work.
