Biography

Jezzica Israelsson is a Postdoctoral researcher specializing in social legal history with a particular interest in institutional history from a perspective of the rule of law regarding women's and men's rights during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She obtained her PhD in History from Uppsala University in 2024, with a dissertation titled "Making Heard. Women's and Men's Voices in the Regional Petitioning Process in Sweden, 1758-1880," which received notable awards, including the Westinska Prize from Kungl. Humanistiska Vetenskaps-Samfundet Uppsala and the Outstanding Scholarly Work award from Kungl. Vitterhetsakademien. Israelsson also holds a Master of Arts in Early Modern History from Uppsala University (2016), where her thesis focused on the nuances of language poverty affecting ordinary people in early modern Sweden. Her academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in the same institution (2014), which featured a thesis examining the Stockholm spinning house as a space for control and order within a household model. Prior to her academic career, she worked as a lawyer in a court law firm between 2009 and 2014.
