I investigate processes where different actors over one hundred and one years have archived, collected, published stories, and creates exhibits in relation to a specific topic: the fur business in the Swedish town Tranås. Central to the research is who and what is remembered or forgotten when a local cultural heritage is created by certain actors who act and negotiate in specific contexts and times.
My other research
In 2020 I contributed to a project in local history called “Risinge – mitt i världen” (eng: “Risinge – in the middle of the world”). My role in the project was to write an overview of literature and previous research. The project is financed by Olof Skoglund’s foundation and was led by professor Hans Nilsson.
Academic background
