My research explores science and religion within global early modern networks, the history of the body, and political economy, with a particular focus on Northern Europe. My latest project focuses on the history of slavery and race-making in the Enlightenment through the lens of millenarianism, political economy, and Linnean human taxonomy.
I am also a specialist of the Swedish parliamentarian, philosopher and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) and have a broader interest in currents related to his ideas and posterity (millenarianism, abolitionism and environmentalism). I mostly work with Swedish, Latin, French, German, Italian, and English sources, and I speak French, Italian, Danish and English fluently.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the Hagströmer Fellow 2023 at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, funded by the Sven and Catarina Hagströmer Foundation. As a postdoc at Oxford I am employed by the Oxford Humanities Division, and affiliated to the Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine and Technology, the Oxford Centre for Intellectual History and the Oxford Centre for Early Modern Studies. I've been the recipient of several funded research fellowships, at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California (2019), the Fondazione Cini in Venice, Italy (2019), the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences (2022), and at the University of Amsterdam (2023). In September 2022, I have been elected an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and I am a member since 2023 of the international research group War Losses and Casualties, which brings together historians of war, medicine, and the body.
Having trained in France, Italy, Denmark and the UK while undertaking research fellowships and residencies in the US, Italy, and Sweden, I am particularly enthusiastic about bringing a diverse network of contacts and collaborators to expand outreach and research leadership to the faculties I work with.
I have extensive experience in convening research activities, presenting research, and academic fundraising. Highlights since 2017 include:
• 30 prizes and awards, including 3 major doctoral awards, and 4 competitive research fellowships
• £104,000+ raised in research funds (total non-indexed value)
• 27 academic talks across 7 countries and 15 universities, including most notably at the Sorbonne, the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS Ulm), the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (INHA), the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, Queen Mary Belfast, Bryn Athyn PA, GTU Berkeley CA, Amsterdam, Lund, Stockholm, Uppsala, and the Royal Polytechnic Institute (KTH).
• Keynote speaker at the Swedenborg's 250th anniversary lectures at the Swedenborg Scandinavian Society and the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
I am very happy to hear from prospective colleagues and collaborators regarding research inquiries, grant applications, publications, and new workshop projects.
