Carlshamre holds a Ph.D. in French from Stockholm University and has, after her doctorate, conducted research on mothers as narrators in contemporary Swedish and French literature.                                                                                                             Since 2021, she also teaches a seminar on new Swedish literature for                                                                                           students studying Swedish at universities in Italy and France.
