Om
I am professor in the Department for Historical Studies (NTNU)
My interests lie in ideology, communication and medieval culture, especially political culture. My PhD thesis, Vox regis: Royal Communication in High Medieval Norway (Brill, 2017), examined how the Norwegian monarchy gradually gained control over the means of communication as part of its assertion of power over society. Drawing on sagas, didactic literature, charters and laws, the book addresses a variety of topic: state-formation, the development of the royal court as an arena for communication, the patronage activity of the Norwegian kings, but also of the aristocratic elite. It also examines the cultural relationship between the Norwegian clergy and the kingship, as well as the role of rituals and the written word.
My postdoctoral project, "The Politics of Rituals", explored the role of political rituals and ceremonies as privileged arenas for the construction of power in the realm of Norway in the 12th and 13th century. The project was founded by the Norwegian Research Council.
Lately, I have also developed an interest in environmental history in pre-modern societies: conceptions and perceptions of nature, energy and resources, and natural catastrophes.
Since 2017, I have been chief editor for French history and the Middle Ages for Store Norske Leksikon.
I am a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters, and vice-president and secretary of the Nordic Branch of the International Arthurian Society (NBIAS).
