Bruno Debaenst is a Flemish legal historian and an Associate Professor in legal history at the Law Faculty of Uppsala University. He holds academic qualifications in history (1999), law (2003), and criminology (2006). Before embarking on an academic career, Bruno gained practical experience as an attorney at the Ghent bar from 2003 to 2008. His research focuses on Belgian and Swedish legal history, particularly the historical development of social law. His doctoral research concentrated on the juridification of workplace accidents in nineteenth-century Belgium, culminating in a defended thesis in 2010. Bruno's scholarly work examines the legal evolution of workplace accidents in industrializing nations and the factors contributing to the shifts in legal perceptions of these events from mere occurrences to legal facts. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of the role of international organizations in legal development and has a keen interest in the genesis of modern welfare states through social insurance frameworks. His ongoing research aims to uncover innovative avenues within Swedish legal history by leveraging his expertise as an outsider to this context.
