Personal profile
Profile
I'm a professor of Comparative Literature and director of TEXT: Center for Contemporary Cultures of Text, financed by the Danish National Research Foundation.
Since March 2023, I've been chair of the Book Panel of the Ministry of Culture Denmark.
Commissioned
In 2024, I will participate in the Ministry of Culture's working group on the conditions for literature in Denmark: https://kum.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/kulturministeren-vil-have-forfatteres-vilkaar-undersoegt-med-ny-arbejdsgruppe.
I have often interviewed authors at book fairs and festivals, including Mario Vargas Llosa, Salman Rushdie, Siri Hustvedt, Xiaolu Guo, Georgi Gospodinov, Knud Romer, Kirsten Thorup and Svend Åge Madsen.
Teaching
I have taught in many different courses in History of Literature. At master's level especially in World Literature, and at bachelor's level in Main Works Study and History of Literature 4: “Literature since 1900”. I have also taught several short courses on digital methods. In interdisciplinary contexts, I have offered courses in memory and migration. Since 2013, I have held courses for the Academy for Talented Youth with a focus on the humanities and the future of humanity.
