Ulrika Holgersson, Associate Professor

I am an associate professor in history and a senior lecturer in journalism and media history.
In my research I use different media, for example popular and daily press, newsreels and feature films, to explore the spirit of the times in Swedish 20th century society, especially highlighting negotiations of gender and class and thereby the historical conditions of the formation of democracy and egalitarianism. I am especially interested in the ways that different media express experiences and identities, partake in the construction of events and historical participation, and are used for political formation in different eras.
