Dr. Martin Arndal

Biography

Martin Fog Lantz Arndal is a Postdoc and External Lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, where he focuses his research on concepts of equality, particularly in relation to the intersection of gender, history, and philosophy. His work investigates the notion of 'spiritual equality' as expressed in psalm and hymn literature, exploring the content and contexts that surround this theme. Arndal examines biblical interpretations of creation narratives, critically analyzing the portrayals of Adam and Eve in the framework of gender equality and the historical defenses of women's intellectual capacities during the early modern Scandinavian period. His research spans various fields, including Gender and Queer Studies, Romanticism, Enlightenment, historical feminism, and ecocriticism. Through these lenses, he aims to illuminate the complexities of gender equality discourse and its historical roots while engaging with contemporary debates.
