My background is in academics but I am currently looking for freelance translation work, mainly in the academic field and specifically related to the areas of literature and literary studies, media and popular culture, cinema, pedagogy and cultural studies. After completing a wide range of undergraduate humanities courses and minors, I obtained a PhD in American literature from Uppsala University in 2014, where I worked as a lecturer. After also teaching at Södertörn University and Royal Technical College (Stockholm), I completed an M.A. in non-fictional translation from Linnaeus University, Växjö, in September of 2020. My thesis for the Linnaeus degree involved translating metaphors in music journalism, and while I take a particular interest in popular culture and academics I am also looking to broaden my skillset and experience with other topics of technical translation from English to Swedish.
