Profile
I am Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, Deputy Head of the School of Communication and Culture, and member of the board of Aarhus University. Moreover, I am member of the board of Aarhus University Press.
My research is primarily focused on two main areas: American literary history, and the materiality and mediality of literature. My most recent book is Planetary Pynchon: History, Modernity, and the Anthropocene (Cambridge University Press, 2023).
