I am an Assistant Professor in history at Mid Sweden University since October 2021.

Background

I studied at the University of Greifswald and wrote my doctoral thesis at the University of Bonn on the final stages of the Westphalian peace congress. Thereafter, I worked in various research projects on the Perpetual German Diet (1663-1806) at the University of Bonn, the University of Marburg and the Historische Kommission in Munich and as a lecturer in history at the University of Bonn (2018-2021). In 2018, I stayed as a visiting researcher (Baltika fellowship) at the Academic Library of Tallinn University. In 2020-2021 I was a guest researcher at the Department of History (Lund University).

Area of interest

Early modern history
History of diplomacy
Historical peace research
Historical integration research
Military history

Research

My research interest focuses on the early modern era, especially the Holy Roman Empire and the Baltic Sea region and relations between them, that is questions of integration, but also war and peace or diplomacy.

Teaching and tutoring

I am the director of studies for the history department.
During 2024 I will teach course 3 (Basic Course A). Moreover, I will teach a course on early modern political thought and a course on historical peace studies.

Other information

I am a member of the NordForsk funded PAX NORDICA network and I am also involved in the MEMG Medieval and Early Modern Group at Mid Sweden University.

Projects

Early Modern European Diplomacy. A Early Modern European Diplomacy. A Handbook(together with Lena Oetzel, Salzburg University)

My second project examines an early modern constitutional phenomenon: princes who combined membership in the Holy Roman Empire, so-called estates, with sovereignty over territories outside the Holy Roman Empire, such as Sweden, Denmark, Brandenburg, Saxony, Hanover and others. How did this phenomenon work in practice? How did these two roles affect everyday political life? Could these roles be separated? And how?
