Torsten Bøgh Thomsen is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in literary studies with a focus on ecocriticism, Romanticism, gender theory, and world literature.

He has contributed to revitalizing Andersen scholarship within an international academic framework and has been instrumental in introducing ecocriticism to Denmark, influencing the development of Nordic environmental humanities since the 2010s.
