Short presentation
My name is Henrik Edgren and I am senior lecturer/Associate professor at the Department of Education. I have a PhD in history (2005) from the Department of History at Uppsala University. My main research interests concern Sweden and the Nordic countries in the 19 th century, from the era of the Napoleonic Wars and onwards. I am also interested in how a Swedish national identity was promulgated via school text books from the 1860s. I was the head of the Department of Education from 2013-2020.
