Interdisziplinäre Postdoc-Forscherin und antikoloniale Mediävistin, die sich vor allem mit Grönland und Sápmi und Fragen der Historizität, Indigenität, Mediävismen, Erbe, Repatriierung beschäftigt, an der Universität Greifswald (seit 2021).

Zu den zentralen und notwendigen Elementen des Kolonialismus gehören die Entmenschlichung der Kolonisierten und die Verweigerung oder Ablehnung des Rechts der Kolonisierten auf freies Denken und historische Erzählung. Das Projekt untersucht diese Elemente in einem vergleichenden Rahmen, der sich auf Indigenität und Repatriierung in den nordischen Ländern und den Fall von Denkmälern in der postsowjetischen (historischen, politischen) Landschaft konzentriert.
