Hallgren, Hanna

Presentation

In the fall of 2008, I defended my thesis, entitled När lesbiska blev kvinnor – När kvinnor blev lesbiska. Lesbiskfeministiska kvinnors diskursproduktion rörande kön, sexualitet, kropp och identitet under 1970- och 1980-talen i Sverige, at the Department of Gender Studies, Linköpings University. Since 2009, I teach in Gender Studies at Södertörn University College. I have many years experience of teaching creative writing (for example, at Kristianstads University College, Nordens folk college, Bona folk college and at creative writing courses in Norway). I am also a literary critic and a poet.

Research

My thesis tells stories about lesbian feminism in Sweden during the 1970s and 1980s. In particular, I am interested in lesbian feminists' production of discourses regarding sex, sexuality, body and identity. My theoretical interests include sexual difference, intersectionality, queer theory and body materialism. I also wish to devote myself to an exploration of visionary scientific styles. Since autumn 2010, I am responsible for the course "Reflexivt akademiskt skrivande på avancerad nivå" at Södertörns University College.
