I am an Associate Professor of Anglophone Literature at the University of Southern Denmark and a Senior Fellow at the Danish Institute for Advanced Study. I am interested in the various ways literature mobilizes us to action, both in historical cases and in the present day. These interests have led me to write about vagrancy, genre theory, memes, and climate fiction.
