Iben Damgaard

Iben Damgaard serves as Associate Professor in the Section of Systematic Theology at the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, with contact details including email iba@teol.ku.dk and phone +4535323678. Her academic profile centers on critical engagement with 19th-20th century philosophical theology.

Her research expertise spans:

• Kierkegaard studies focusing on irony, jest-seriousness dialectics, and dignity
• Nietzsche and Ricœur interpretations regarding religious critique and hermeneutics
• Biblical figures in philosophical-literary rewritings (Dostoevsky, Nietzsche)
• Identity-narrative theory and existential-ethical dimensions of human dignity

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate interdisciplinary convergence, linking Kierkegaard's thought with Simone Weil's attention theory, Hannah Arendt's natality, and environmental ethics through literary analysis. Her work frequently appears in Kierkegaard-focused edited volumes addressing social equality, comic seriousness, and Chernobyl narratives.
