Im a freelance journalist and writer specializing in writings on sexuality, gender and otherness. I have contributed to several anthologies and regularly write on queer politics in Swedish magazines and newspapers.

My latest book Homonationalism (2017) is a swedish introduction to the field, exploring the implications of raised conservatism in gay culture, new alliances between the LGBT community and nationalist and far right movements, and the nominal adoptation of LGBT rights as means of creating a distance to non-Western culture. In 2023 I contributed with an update on Swedish homonationalism in Transforming Identities: Critical Essays on Knowledge, Inequality and Belonging. (Open Access)

Im also the author of Det Sjuka (The Malaise 2009) –  an investigation of the demonizing and racist implications of the Swedish HIV policy.. About the image of the ”HIV Man”, as a sexual predator and monsterous ”Other” which have been prevalent in Swedish media headlines in the late 2000s.

Currently Im working on a political and personal memoir.
