I was trained in Religious Studies (Dr. art., 2007) at the University of Bergen, specializing in Jewish and Christian literatures of Late Antiquity. I have published widely on the apocalyptic text, 2 Baruch, and its transmission history. My current research interests span manuscript studies, New/Material Philology and textual scholarship, media history, as well as the academic imagination of early Judaism. I have also published a book on religion and popular media (in Norwegian) and take interest in media literacy, the use of media materials in eductional practices, as well as the relationship between the media and the academe.
