Researcher, Department of Clinical Neuroscience and Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet I am a researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience and the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet. I obtained my PhD at Karolinska Institutet and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Oxford and at Karolinska Institutet. My research is mostly focused on pharmacoepidemiology. That is, I study the risks and benefits of common medications with a specific interest in psychiatric and behavioural outcomes such as depression, anxiety, suicide, overdoses, accidents, violence and other crimes. For this, I use Swedish pharmacy, healthcare, sociodemographic, crime and death registers, and I study nationwide cohorts of people who take different medications. I have previously published studies on the psychiatric and behavioural outcomes of antidepressants, nicotine replacement therapy, antiepileptic drugs, cholesterol-lowering medications, and medications for treating substance use disorders.

Associate Professor of Israel Studies, Binghamton University, State University of New York Most of my work deals with history, politics, and environment in Israel/Palestine. At Binghamton University, I teach courses on the history of Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, walking and pilgrimage in the Middle East, the environmental history of Israel/Palestine, and the history of Middle East cartography. All of these things intersect in my research on the history of trails and walking routes. My first book deals with the history and politics of Israel's marked and mapped hiking trail system: how it took shape on the eve of the 1948 war, and how struggles over its growth mirror struggles over Israeli identity and over the boundaries of the country. My current book project builds on a trek I completed around the Dead Sea in November 2022. The walk, which took me through Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank, was the first circumnavigation of the Dead Sea on foot since 1934, and the first to take place since the rise of modern nation-states in the Middle East.
