Elin Lundsten is a Senior Lecturer in the Gender Culture Studies unit at the University of Gothenburg, where she has been teaching since 2008. She obtained her PhD in Women's Studies from Lancaster University, UK, in 2007, with a thesis entitled 'Speaking Subjects Good School: Language Relations Power.' Her research investigates how language institutions define equality and the diversity aims of Swedish schools, analyzing texts and everyday speech practices to reveal how language can conceal power relations. One of her central arguments critiques the liberal ideal of dialogue in relation to the Swedish language's construction of 'whiteness', which can restrict critical interrogations of racism and injustice. Dr. Lundsten primarily teaches courses in Gender Studies at introductory and advanced levels, supervising degree projects in teacher training programs and coordinating courses in the international master's program 'Gendering Practices' since 2014, particularly focusing on the politics of feminist critique in her introductory courses.
Administered by the Department of Political Science; focus on International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG).
