Impact
I love science. I am always seeking new ways to communicate research to the wider public.
Here you can find some of my impact projects and awards.
Podcast
The podcast is produced by members of the working group Workplaces: Pasts and Presents. It provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the workplace by bringing together scholars with research projects on labour, work, and space. The project draws on a range of disciplinary methodologies and on the tools of digital humanities and social sciences to archive, curate, and disseminate the results to audiences of students, scholars, activists, and the general public.

Blog
I reposted my Swedish text, “‘The Sad Truth’ Then and Now: Pasts and Presents of Danish Refugee Policy” (Arbetar Historia No.191-192, 2024) about Helle Stenum’s documentary, The Sad Truth (2023), as a blog post in English on focaalblog.com.

Through interweaving the parallel processes of industrialisation and nation-building, this exhibit explores the two most prominent aspects of visible modernity in interwar Turkey: the image of the large factory and the status of women.
