Personal profile

Current research

In my current research I examine how Scandinavian foreign affairs journalists reimagined their profession in the earliest post-war period 1945-1948. I capitalise on insights from my earlier work on the work and network of Danish journalists in war-exile in Britain (many such exile journalists became leading foreign affairs journalists in postwar Denmark), but I move into new ground by applying an intellectual history angle, and a cross-Scandinavian comparative approach in the post-war period. You can read more about my project here.

Short presentation

I specialise in the history ofn the news media in Scandinavia, history of international organisations and intellectual history. In my research,
including my Ph.D.-project, I have combined international history,and media history in exploring intersections of journalism and diplomacy.
