معرفی
Eleonora Narvselius is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at Lund University's Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences, specifically within the Division of Ethnology at the Faculty of Humanities and Theology. She is an active researcher and educator with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to cultural analysis and ethnology.
Her research interests span several interconnected fields, with primary focus on Memory Studies, Cultural Heritage, Urban Studies, and Ethnicity and Nationalism. Through her work, she examines how memory cultures shape urban environments, how cultural heritage is constructed and contested, and how migration experiences transform notions of home and belonging. Her research often takes a transnational perspective, particularly focusing on Eastern European borderlands and migration experiences.
Narvselius is currently involved in three major research projects: MaHoMe (Making It Home: An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration), funded by NordForsk; SO-CLOSE (Enhancing Social Cohesion through Sharing Cultural Heritage of Forced Migrations), funded by Horizon2020; and The Academic and Cultural Fields in Sweden from a 'postmigration' perspective, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. These projects reflect her ongoing commitment to understanding migration, memory, and cultural transformation.
Her publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on Eastern European borderlands, memory politics, and migration studies. Recent works examine forced migrations as cultural heritage, postmigrant experiences in Swedish academia, and state-sanctioned approaches to migrant home-making. Her research shows a clear trajectory from earlier work on Eastern European urban environments and memory cultures toward more contemporary concerns with migration and integration in Nordic contexts.
