Presentation

My prime areas of interest have been history of business (primarily Danish industry), history of technology and innovation, and the history of materials and mundane artefacts. With my postdoc project about the history of Danish Savings Banks foundations, my research focuses now include the history of foundations and financial history from the 1980s onwards as well. Currently, I am also involved in an environmental history project called ‘The black transition’ lead by Odense City Museums. I like to work empirically inspired by different theoretical and methodological approaches, and new materialism has been among my favorites.
