Filippo Valguarnera serves as Senior Lecturer in Legal History at Uppsala University's Department of Law within the Faculty of Law. He previously held associate professor positions at Örebro University (2009-2013), University of Gothenburg (2013-2020), and Stockholm University (2020-2025) before joining Uppsala.
Valguarnera earned his law degree summa cum laude in 2003 and completed his doctoral thesis in comparative law at the University of Florence in 2007. His academic journey included visiting fellowships at Uppsala University and New York University, establishing foundations for his transnational legal perspective.
His research centers on comparative legal history with specialized focus on property rights, collective resources (commons), public right of way, and European private law frameworks. Valguarnera examines historical legal developments in Scandinavia and Italy, addressing contemporary issues like access to nature, wilderness protection, and the evolution of legal methodologies through interdisciplinary approaches that bridge historical analysis with modern jurisprudential challenges.
Recent publications (2021-2024) reveal consistent thematic engagement with property rights and commons, including analyses of Dobbs v. Jackson abortion jurisprudence, historical status of domestic animals in Swedish law, constitutional overreach, and commons management challenges. His work demonstrates a distinctive comparative methodology that contextualizes Scandinavian legal traditions within broader European and global frameworks, particularly examining how historical legal concepts inform modern resource governance and human rights discourse.
