She has published widely on Scandinavian and Scottish literature and cinema in journals such as New Cinemas, Short Film Studies, Language and Literature, and for the Danish Film Institute's Carl Th. Dreyer Archive. Main publications are Thomas Vinterberg's Festen (Nordic Film Classics series, University of Washington Press, forthcoming 2012); Nordic Naturecultures (co-edited with Christopher Oscarson, forthcoming), and the edited volume Northern Constellations: New Readings in Nordic Cinema (Norvik Press, 2006).
