Forest management, forestry science, history of ideas and sciences

Presentation

I am a historian of ideas and sciences. My research is oriented towards the interplay between forestry and forestry science, on one hand, and, on the other, different ideas, debates, and societal transitions in the 20th and 21th centuries. Among other things, I have analyzed the institutionalization of forest biological research in the early 20th century, debates about forest conservation in the 20th and 21th centuries, and ideas about forest restoration in the 20th century. Now, I explore how the Swedish National Forest Inventory has been received in Swedish press for the past hundred years.
