My postdoctoral research focuses on the transnational and digital social memories of contemporary European antifascism. It relies on a case-study approach, which draws together analyses of social media use by grassroots antifascists groups in Germany and Sweden.
My doctoral research investigated the production of social memory in the infrastructural urban landscapes of the London Underground and Berlin U- and S-Bahn. My PhD thesis received first prize in the 2014 Peter Lang Young Scholars in Memory Studies.
Besides this I have published and presented papers on other research interests including on graffiti, street art and heritage.
