About me

I (Agnieszka Backman) am a Wallenberg postdoc at Stanford University working of the materialities of medieval manuscripts on digital platforms from a multimodal, socio semiotic perspective. 

I finished my PhD on the materiality of a Swedish medieval manuscript, D 3 called Fru Elin’s bok ‘Lady Elin’s book’ in 2017 at Uppsala University (full text, in Swedish but abstract and summary in English). For the last two years I have worked in The Norse perception of the world project (www.uu.se/norseworld), which is mapping foreign place names in medieval Swedish and Danish vernacular texts. 

I’m also on twitter, @ffrwelin.
