Hallenblad Award to Gunnel Cederlöf
LNUC Concurrences member Gunnel Cederlöf has received the Hallenblad award by the Småland Linneaus Academy.
Cederlöf has received the Hallenblad award by the Småland Linneaus Academy for research and steering the work that centre on the Joseph Stephens Archive. This is a collection of historical documents, found in the attic of the old iron estate Huseby bruk in 2008. It opened avenues to write and revise histories of labour in India and the economic turn in the poorest region of Sweden. In addition, it showed the connection between resource extraction in colonial India and industrialisation in 19th century Sweden. Top-quality research by Concurrences colleagues across 10 years together with creative ways to reach the public in the Småland province by the Huseby Estate made this possible. Eleonor Marcussen, Radhika Krishnan, Dhiraj Kumar Nite, Arun Kumar, Alex Bubb, Margareta Petersson, Malin Lennartsson, Erik Wångmar, Sofie Magnusson, Sanna Karlsson, Marcus Brunskog - great work!
