My primary research concerns notions of privacy in the period 1500-1800 seen from church historical and interdisciplinary perspectives.
I am working on a monograph based on my doktordisputats: The Unfamiliar Familiar: Armand-Jean de Rancé (1626-1700) between Withdrawal and Engagement (defended June 2017) regarding Armand-Jean de Rancé's Cistercian reform at La Trappe in the last half of the seventeenth century. I have studied the abbot in his religious, cultural and social context and on the interaction between religious and aesthetic discourses in the world of Louis XIV.
I am working on publications related to the research project Solitudes: Withdrawal and Engagement in the long Seventeenth Century, financed by the ERC
