ENGLISH

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

Im the author of Det Sjuka (The Malaise 2009) –  an investigation of the demonizing and racist implications of the Swedish HIV policy. Its 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.

Im the editor of the anthology Över Regnbågen (Over the Rainbow 2010), which highlights new challenges for a movement representing the LGBT community, in Sweden and internationally.

My 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.

Im currently working on a political and personal memoir that takes its starting point in 1996.
