Anthropologist // Sensory Scholar // Multimodal Ethnographer // Female Health Researcher // Swede in Salento

How fun that you’ve found my website! I created it to communicate experiences from my PhD research on olive culture in Puglia, Italy. It has since expanded to include other passions, interests & curiosities.

I have just defended my thesis and am now in the process of applying for postdoctoral research funding. My newly found interest in female health issues, and complexities of living with a menstrual cycle, is the core of my research moving forward. I am passionate about understanding women’s health as cross-cultural societal phenomena, such as by comparing Western medicine and perspectives with, for instance, Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am equally keen to contribute to public discussions regarding hormonal contraceptives, the medical gaslighting of women, and the infradian rhythm inherent in the female biology (especially as related to the circadian rhythm influencing many societal norms and expectations).
