Översikt/Overview

I am since 2025 retired and holds an emeritus position as associate professor.

My research has covered methods for documentation and recording of physical properties of heritage; industrial heritage and the possibilities to develop such remains for the benefit of continued societal development; and maritime heritage – both the heritage afloat as well as coastal communities. Since 2026 I am appointed Correspondent Member för Sweden to the Society for Nautical Research

Between 2008 and 2012, I was moderator for Heritage Studies as part of the UGOT initiative on strengthening cross-disciplinary research. This research initiative contributed to the establishment of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies in 2012. Between 2012 and 2018 I was Head of department (UGOT-C), after which I did a sabbatical in Tirana, Albania, cooperating with Cultural Heritage without Borders Albania, and the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies, University of Tirana. In focus for this were partly questions about how cultural heritage processes can be a resource for conflict resolution, and partly how heritage could be an asset for economic development – specifically in terms of revitalized crafts skills.

European landscape convention and questions related to cultural landscapes, vernacular building traditions as well as agriculturally based industrial production represents my major interests, illustrated also as representative for UGOT in UNISCAPE, and being active in European Ecocycles Society. Related to these questions is the JPI research project on Urban Garden, were the department forms a Swedish team together with the City of Göteborg, and the Region Västra Götaland.

I have a keen interest in the development of professional practices, which the recently finalised CHARTER Alliance project focused on, in which I was the ICOMOS lead research coordinator.

Presently I am in the board of Blue Shield Sweden, focusing on heritage in armed conflicts and other crises.
