Professor Donald Broady works in the field of the sociology of
education and culture, with special interests in elites and education, cultural
fields, history of education, students' trajectories, transnational educational
strategies, and education in sub-Saharan Africa. He is also engaged in research
on mark-up languages (SGML, XML etc) and Internet applications. He collaborates
in particular with French colleagues and co-directs the research network
"Formation des élites et internationalisation de la culture" with partners in 21
countries. He is a member of the Swedish Research Council's Committee for
Educational Science and the Director of a new Swedish National Research School
for Educational History.
Professor Tore Frängsmyr retired in 2005.
Professor Maths Isacson has a broad list of publications on subjects
relating to agricultural and industrial history and their links to the modern
welfare state. He is the author of several books, including
Proto-industrialisation in Scandinavia, craft skills in the industrial
revolution and Everyday economy, work and maintenance in a Swedish rural
district during the 20th century. Quiet recently he has published the fifth part
of The History of Swedish Agriculture focusing on the period of 1945–2000. He is
currently working in the field of social unrest and social order in the age of
industrialisation in Sweden, at the Department of Economic History at Uppsala
University. He is also working on the contemporary industrial transition and the
use of the cultural heritage in the Nordic and Baltic countries.
Professor Jan Lindegren, who is a member of Academia Europea, has mainly
worked on topics connected to war and society in a Scandinavian perspective
during the early modern period. Within this field he has mainly dealt with four
areas: a) the social effects of war, b) state building and war, c) war finances,
d) military logistics. He has also written several essays on the theory of
history. The following articles have been published in other languages than
Swedish: The Swedish Military State 1560-1720; Men, Money and Means (also in
French); Two thousand years of warfare (also in Dutch); Forest EMERGY Basis for
Swedish Power in the 17th Century (also in German); The politics of expansion in
17th Century Sweden (also in Spanish); Frauenland und Soldatenleben. He is
currently working on a book on the logistics and the war economy of the Great
Northern War.
Professor Maria Ågren is working in the field of gender, culture and
economic development in the early modern period. She is particularly interested
in applying a comparative perspective to the field of gender and economic
development, and in applying institutional theory, e.g. to what extent can the
early appearance of capitalism in England and Holland be explained with
reference to the comparatively privileged position of women in those countries?
Can the much later development in Scandinavia also be explained by the
restrictions placed upon women as economic actors? Professor Ågren is already
working on a book in this field, devoted to married women’s property rights in
Sweden in the 17th and 18th centuries. She is a member of the Swedish Research
Council, and chairman of the panel in charge of historical sciences and
archeology. Her latest major publication is The Marital Economy in
Scandinavia and Britain 1400-1900 (editors M Ågren & A L Erickson; Ashgate
2005).
D.Phil. Christopher Lagerqvist wrote his Ph.D.
thesis on Why live in the middle of nowhere? Migration and Strategies to earn a
living in Ängersjö Community, 1950–1990. Thereafter, he will start to work in
two different research fields: (1) Social Unrest and Social Control in Sweden,
1809–1991 (directed by professor Isacson), and (2) Comparative Studies in Higher
Education: The Cases of the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United
States. As an introduction to the latter field, he has recently published the
article "What is there to be learned from Oxford?" in which he addresses the
question of which qualitative surplus can be received by the Oxford tutorial
system at the Faculty of Modern History.
D.Phil. Monica Langerth Zetterman is currently involved in the
field of sociology of education and culture. She is also working as a lecturer
and is the co-ordinator of the research program Digital Literature at Uppsala
University (directed by professor Broady).
