Biography

Johanna Dahlin is an Associate Professor at Linköping University whose research focuses on secrecy, securitization, and intellectual property within the context of the Soviet Union. She employs social anthropology to explore the relationships between property, heritage, and memory while revitalizing traditions. Her work investigates the contradictions inherent in Soviet intellectual property politics, particularly how the state’s control over inventions persisted against a backdrop of forced labor and systemic suspicion towards inventors. Dahlin's major project, PASIM, examines the history of scientific inventions in the Soviet era, while her Revitalization Sustainability project connects environmental sustainability with cultural practices and communal resource management. Through her teaching, she engages students in Global Studies and Media Production, focusing on memory, power, and resistance in societal contexts, and aims to inspire them to address contemporary environmental challenges through a revival of traditional practices and communal knowledge.
