I am an Associate Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology in the Department of History and Classical Studies at Aarhus University. My research interests lie broadly within the study of visual culture in the ancient world, the material culture of ancient pilgrimage, late antique art and archaeology as well as the contemporary "consumption" of heritage.
My first monograph, Making and Breaking the Gods. Christian Responses to Pagan Sculpture in Late Antiquity, was published in 2013. A second monograph, Classical Heritage and European Identities: The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism (co-authored with Lærke Maria Andersen Funder and Vinnie Nørskov), appeared in 2019. I have recently finished a monograph on the archaeology of ancient Mediterranean pilgrimage that takes inspiration from the so-called "New Mobilities Paradigm" and that should appear in 2026.
I am currently engaged with understanding the uses of visual media in scholarship on classical sculpture, including those afforded by the introduction of digital tools. On this issue, I work specifically with the publication of both old and new material from excavations at Kalydon in Greece (as part of Danish-Greek-Norwegian fieldwork) and Sagalassos in Türkiye (as part of the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project).
Previously, I've been responsible for two large-scale collaborative research projects: "The Emergence of Sacred Travel (EST): Experience, Economy, and Connectivity in Ancient Mediterranean Pilgrimage", funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research's Sapere Aude research excellence programme (2013-2017), and the Horizon2020-funded "CoHERE: Performing and Representing European Identities" (2016-2019) in which I was Work Package Leader. I also serve as Editor-in-Chief of Brill's main series in classical archaeology, "Monumenta Graeca et Romana" (proposals for new volumes, especially monographs, are much welcome!).
I maintain an Academia.edu page here.
