I am an associate professor of economic history at Stockholm University. 

After studying history at the Université de Strasbourg, I earned my Ph.D. in History from Purdue University in 2011 with a dissertation entitled Women in Rural Society: Peasants, Patriarchy and the Local Economy in Northeast France, 1650–1789.

Following my doctorate, I was a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at Umeå University, and between 2013 and 2015, I worked as a Research Fellow at Lund University on the project Marrying Cultures: Queens Consort and European Identities, 1500–1800, funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). In 2016, I was promoted to Associate Professor at Umeå University. I spent the 2018–2019 academic year as a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, and in 2021–2022, I was a visiting fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute. In 2025–2026, I will be a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin.

Since 2019, I have directed the Human Economy Lab, a research initiative dedicated to exploring the intersection of economic life, social practices, and moral reasoning.

My research spans a wide range of interests, including economic and legal history, gender and women’s history, and the dynamics of traditional communities. My work has been published in The Journal of Social History, The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Financial History Review, and Social Science History, among others.

In 2017, I published Gender and Politics in Eighteenth-Century Sweden, a political biography of Queen Lovisa Ulrika (1720–1782). This was followed in 2018 by Women and Credit in Preindustrial Europe, a collection of essays available in open access. I also co-edited Revisiting Gender in European History, 1400–1800 and Credit Networks in the Preindustrial World.

My most recent book, Before Banks: The Making of Debt and Credit in Preindustrial France, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2025.

In 2024, I was appointed to the board of the Swedish Historical Society (Svenska Historiska Föreningen) for the term 2024–2027.

I am currently revising a book manuscript tentatively titled The Moral Economy: Past, Present and Future.
