Charlotta Busing serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Scandinavian Languages at Uppsala University, where she has taught Basic Swedish for exchange students continuously since 2009. Her academic portfolio includes instructing courses in Swedish as a Second Language (B-level), Bilingualism and Linguistic Variation, and Language and Society during the 2009-2011 period, alongside temporary administrative duties as course coordinator for Basic Swedish in Spring 2011.
Her research centers on historical textual practices within 16th-century Swedish legal frameworks, specifically examining how written documents and medieval law (landslagen) functioned in Dalarna's rural courts. Through receptionsphilological analysis of court protocols, she investigates ordinary citizens' use of economic/legal documents and judicial applications of statutory law, revealing intricate connections between textual sources and courtroom proceedings in pre-modern Scandinavia.
Busing's publications demonstrate consistent scholarly focus on medieval Scandinavian legal linguistics, with her 2009 licentiate dissertation providing foundational analysis of textual environments in rural courts and her 2007 chapter dissecting legal references in court books. These works collectively advance understanding of how written texts mediated justice in early modern Swedish society, bridging historical linguistics and legal anthropology.
