Jenny Björklund is a Professor of Gender Studies and Director of the Center for Gender Studies at Uppsala University. She received her doctorate in literary studies from Uppsala University in 2004 and has taught and researched at multiple institutions including Stockholm University, Linnaeus University, and UCLA. Her primary research interests include: Reproductive decisions and climate change Childlessness/childfreedom studies Motherhood studies Queer readings of literature Literature and gender across 20th-21st century Björklund's research investigates how climate change intersects with family formation and reproductive decisions. She has published on parenthood representations in Swedish climate fiction and collaborates with reproductive health researchers on how people reason about reproductive choices in relation to environmental crises. She leads the project 'Reproductive Choices in the Age of Climate Change,' examining family formation discussions in media and civil society. Her work on non-motherhood challenges the involuntary/voluntary childlessness binary, bringing together perspectives from literature, cultural studies, gender studies, and sociology. She edited 'Negotiating Non-Motherhood: Representations, Perceptions, and Experiences' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). Björklund has made significant contributions to queer readings of Swedish literature through monographs like 'Lesbianism in Swedish Literature: An Ambiguous Affair' (2014) and 'Maternal Abandonment and Queer Resistance in Twenty-First-Century Swedish Literature' (2021). Her research on mothers who abandon families utilizes queer theoretical frameworks that explore failure as resistance against societal norms like pronatalism and nuclear families. From 2021-2024, she led a work package in MotherNet, a European motherhood research network funded by EU's Horizon 2020. Between 2012-2020, she co-edited the Nordic LGBTQ journal lambda nordica with Ulrika Dahl.

Adrian Sangfelt serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Language, Literature and Interculture at Karlstad University's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, holding an assistant lecturer position in Swedish with didactic focus since February 2023. His office is located in room 12A 517A with contact details 076-853 86 82 and adrian.sangfelt@kau.se. He earned his PhD from Uppsala University in December 2019, focusing on the disappearance of Middle Swedish word sequences through comparative analysis with Nordic and Germanic languages. His dissertation established foundational work in historical syntax variation. Dr. Sangfelt's research integrates generative grammar theory across three core domains: syntactic development in primary/middle school children (examining acquisition of written-language grammatical patterns in speech vs writing), suburban-indexed Swedish varieties in multilingual metropolitan contexts (collaborating with Karin Senter, Uppsala University), and historical evolution of Swedish syntax from medieval to modern periods. His work consistently targets how Swedish linguistic data illuminates innate human grammatical acquisition capacities. Publication analysis (2016-2024) reveals persistent investigation of word order variation, adverbial placement, and written-spoken language interfaces across historical stages. Key trends include applying theoretical syntax frameworks to empirical studies of historical corpora and contemporary urban speech patterns, with increasing focus on computational analysis since 2022. No scientific awards are documented in university sources. He currently leads a syntactic development research project in children while collaborating with Uppsala University on suburban dialect studies, though specific grant details remain unpublicized. His academic trajectory shows continuous progression from historical linguistics toward acquisition-focused and sociolinguistic applications within generative frameworks.
