Christinna is a Lecturer in International Relations and Politics.
She primarily works in the areas of postcolonial studies and world literature. Her doctoral project examined the political and cultural significance of the semi-periphery in a selection of literary works from Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Turkey. Her research interests include postcolonial theory; Nordic colonialism; world politics in popular culture and world literature; anti-colonial and popular protest movements; immigration and the symbolic and political borders of Europe.
She has recently published her first book "Semi-Peripheral Realism: Nation and Form on the Borders of Europe" (2024) with Palgrave Macmillan, as well as research on “Nordic Noir and Postcolonial North” (2020) and “Representations of Greenland: Danish and Greenlandic Literary Perspectives” (2023).
