I am an interdisciplinary researcher based in the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences, where I lecture in sound studies and musicology and convene the Aesthetic Studies Reading Group. My research interests span the fields of cultural geography, colonial history, musicology, cultural studies, sound studies and urban studies. Currently, my main research focus is a project entitled "Musical Colonization: Scots and Swedes in Southern Africa, 1770–1850" (funded by a Research Project Grant from the Swedish Research Council).

I am also Director of Lund University's Sound Environment Centre, a university-wide body for interdisciplinary research and external engagement relating to sound and sound environments.
