Wojtek Jezierski is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on historical studies related to power dynamics, cultural encounters, and medieval history. He obtained his PhD from Stockholm University in 2010 and has since contributed significantly to the fields of medieval studies and political anthropology, particularly concerning the Baltic Rim.
