Professor Jon Stobart
Professor Jon Stobart, of Manchester Metropolitan University, is a leading international scholar of early modern cultural history. Focusing on consumption, particularly in the 18th century, his work covers areas such as material culture, spatiality, social practices, gender history, urban history and global history.
Both his pioneering work in the history of culture and consumption and his strong commitment to international collaborations make him a valuable partner for the Faculty of Arts at Uppsala University.
