Biography

Bjorn Malekin earned his PhD from the University of Glasgow’s Center for Literature, Theology and the Arts. His research broadly focuses on religious questions raised in the plays of August Strindberg, exploring how seismic shifts in 19th Century European religious consciousness were influenced by the interplay of Darwinism, Biblical criticism, and an increasing awareness of religious traditions from Asia. His work is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, situating literature and the arts within a broader spectrum of intellectual and religious currents.
