Anthropologist // Sensory Scholar // Multimodal Ethnographer // Menstrual Health Researcher

How fun that you’ve found my website! I created it to communicate experiences from my PhD research on olive culture in Italy. It has since expanded to include other passions and curiosities, of which my newly engaged interest in menstrual (un)health is one. 

I am a curious, creative, and engaged anthropologist specialized in sensory and multimodal ethnography. I hold from way back a bachelor in Textile Development from FIT, and more recently, a doctorate in Social Anthropology from Stockholm University. My PhD-thesis was one of the first multimodal theses to be defended at the university, and I am proud to have pushed for a more inclusive and critically innovative academic practice (if yet text-based research is the norm). Currently undertaking preliminary research for my postdoctoral project, I feel keenly about engaging in issues of menstrual (un)health using, for instance, art-based methods. 

When I’m not engaged in anthropological research or otherwise critical thinking, I spend my days gardening, painting, and writing a book. I am also fond of cooking, photographing, and traveling.
