Personal profile
Research
I'm a professor of mobility and urban studies at Roskilde University.
I have a long-standing interest in tourist photography, tourism, cities, and mobility more broadly. More recently, I have written extensively about urban cycling, running, sport and walking. For instance, I published a book on urban marathons in 2022 (Routledge).
I have been fortunate to collaborate with some bright scholars over the years, such as John Urry, Tim Edensor, Jørgen Ole Bærenholdt, Michael Haldrup, Mathilde Dissing Christensen, Ole B Jensen and Simon Cook, to name a few.
I'm also fortunate that my work is highly cited and discussed. Google scholar profile https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0x28m6EAAAAJ&hl=en
Several of my publications have been translated into simply and complex Chinese (both in China and Taiwan), Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (both in Portugal and Brazil), Czeh, and Turkish (Greek translation is forthcming).
I'm on the editorial board of Mobilities, Tourist Studies, Mondes du Tourisme and Photographies.
