Biography

Gudrun Andersson is a Professor of History with a distinguished career focused on early modern cultural history. Her research emphasizes gender history, illustrated by her 1998 doctoral dissertation titled 'Tingets kvinnor och män' (Women and Men in District Court) and her 2009 monograph 'Stadens dignitärer' (City Dignitaries), which explores consumption history. Andersson investigates the expressions of power through qualitative analysis and non-written sources, including portraits and furnishings. Her work examines the dynamics of historical actors, particularly how they navigated power structures in both private and public spheres. Currently, she is engaged in research on the Swedish consumer society's pre-history and social transformations from the eighteenth to early nineteenth century, studying potential gender-specific consumption patterns that reflect the establishment of upper bourgeoisie culture.
