Forskningen min handler om forholdet mellom politisk makt, økonomi/naturforhold og ideologi/religion i den antikke/førislamske verden. Jeg har særlig skrevet om Midtøsten, Rødehavet og det Indiske hav, men er også interessert i Middelhavsområdet og Sentral-Asia. Jeg har arbeidet mye med handelsbyen Palmyra i Syria, med handel på Det indiske hav, og med å utvikle globalhistorie som fagfelt på norsk.

I det siste har jeg arbeidet med hvordan historikere, arkeologer og klimaforskere vurderer klimaets rolle i historiske endringer. Det kan hjelpe oss å forstå forholdet mellom klima- og samfunnsendringer bedre. Sammen med klimaforskeren Kikki Kleiven har jeg skrevet en bok om klima og historie.

Jeg er også opptatt av hvordan eldre historie har blitt forstått og brukt i senere perioder. Sammen med kollega Ingvar Mæhle leder jeg forskergruppen Antikkens virkningshistorie. 

De neste årene (2024-2027) deltar jeg i prosjektet SILKROMO, ledet av Tomas Høisæter, Høgskulen Vestlandet, hvor vi skal utforske handel og kulturkontakt langs silkevegen i seinantikken.

Jeg har vært vert for Marie Skłodowska-Curie prosjektene ASCNET og RENE (2020-2022), som begge utforsker hvordan digitale metoder kan være til hjelp for å forstå religiøse nettverk i antikken.

Sammen med nordiske kolleger organiserte jeg workshop-serien "Globalization, Urbanization and Urban Religion in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Roman and Early Islamic periods". Den var finansiert av The Joint Committee for Nordic research councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences (2018-2019).

2013-2017 ledet jeg prosjektet: "Mechanisms of cross-cultural interaction: Networks in the Roman Near East" finansiert av Norges Forskningsråds SAMKUL-program. Her undersøkte vi sosiale nettverk basert på handel, etnisitet, religion og makt i Midtøsten i den romerske perioden.
