Short presentation
My fields of interest include media history of medicine, histories of ignorance in medicine, and historical perspectives on medicine, ethics and democracy. I have published articles on the iconic images of embryos and fetuses by Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson as well as several co-edited volumes. My most recent book is Embryological spaces: The collection of human and animal fetuses of the Tornblad Institute at Lund University, title in transl. (Makadam, in press).
