Johannes Ljungberg is an Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in the history of early modern religion, particularly focusing on dissenters within the early modern Lutheran North. His research examines the ways in which social networks, mobility, and new media foster generational experiences among dissenters. Ljungberg's current project investigates the historical context of Nordic freedoms of press from 1770 to 1860, funded by the Ridderstad Foundation, and aims to provide insights into the socio-religious landscape shaped by legal frameworks such as the Danish liberal constitution of 1849 and the Swedish dissenter law of 1860. Ljungberg's work challenges traditional perspectives on religious dissenters, emphasizing the complex interrelations and the transnational character of dissenting communities. He has published various scholarly works, including contributions to volumes on religious enlightenment and peer-reviewed articles discussing the dynamics of Pietist conflicts. His scholarly pursuits have included a focus on the private nature of religious expression and the implications of private interpretation in early modern Europe, elucidating how collective practices intersect with individual beliefs in a historical context.
