Academic interests
I have a background in religious studies and history, with specialization in Islam, Judaism and the modern history of the Middle East/Southwest Asia and North Africa. My research interests include Islam, gender and feminism, as well as femonationalism, Islamophobia and decolonial theory.
In my Ph.D. project, Digital Muslim Feminism in Scandinavia: Using Social Media to Amplify Islamic Feminist Messages and Struggles, I examine how a handful of Muslim content creators based in Scandinavia understand feminism and Islam, and how and why they disseminate it on Instagram.
