Hanna Hallgren

I am a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at Linnaeus University since 2013. I received my PhD from Tema Genus, Linköping’s University, in 2008. My thesis focuses lesbian feminism and activism during the 1970s and 1980s in Sweden. 2009-2013 I worked as a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at Södertörn’s University College. I have also taught and supervised in academic and creative writing for many years, at Swedish Universities and abroad. During 2012-2013 I had a research project named ”Writing as a Method. A Study in Poetry, Writing Process and the Possibilities of Reflexive Academic Writing”. In relation to this project, I published the book Prolog till den litterära vetenskapsteorin [Prologue to the Literary Theory of Science] (Malmö, 2014). I was also a visiting researcher at the Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London. The project was funded by the Swedish Research Council (Artistic Research). I teach at all academic levels, and I am also a poet and a supervisor for PhD-students at School of Dance and Circus in Stockholm and Aalto University in Helsinki.
