KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Birgitta Johansson Lindh, PhD in Comparative Literature with a specialization in theatre, is a teacher and scholar at LIR. Her thesis appeared in 2006 Befrielsen är nära. Feminism och teaterpraktik i Margareta Garpes och Suzanne Ostens 1970-talsteater (Liberation is at hand. Feminism and Theatrical Practice in Margaretha Garpe’s and Suzan Osten’s Theatre of the 1970’s). Johansson is currently working on the research project „Emotion and liberation – sentimental and melodramatic elements in women’s socio-realistic plays of the modern breakthrough”, which is a three-year long project, financed by the Swedish research fund Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ). She also teaches courses in Theatre Studies.

Networks and cooperation

I participate in the European COST project Women Writers in History (substitute member of the board). The primary aim of the network is to develop a database concerning the reception of women’s literature before the 20th century, in order to facilitate European research cooperation on women’s literature and on women’s roles as intermediaries of ideas.

Since autumn 2006, I have been involved in teaching elementary, advanced and teacher training courses in Theatre Studies and Literature. In 2011-2012, I was Director of Studies in Theatre Studies and Literature during the period 2006–2009 I also taught courses in Literature, Creative Writing and Dramaturgy at the University of Skövde in Sweden. In 2006-2012 I wrote theatrical reviews in the Swedish daily paper Svenska Dagbladet.
