Personal profile

Short presentation

My research revolves around notions of privacy in early modern biblical interpretation. My PhD project centres on the German court preacher Nikolaus Selnecker’s (1530-92) commentaries on the Psalter and explores ideals of the Christian life for secular authorities and their subjects, prescribed public and private devotion, and Biblical interpretation as a mode of spiritual direction.

The project is carried out within the interdisciplinary framework of Centre for Privacy Studies, a Centre of Exellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation.
