معرفی
Frøydis Vangsøy serves as a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Oslo.
Her educational background includes:
- Interdisciplinary Master's degree in "European Culture" (EKUL) from University of Oslo and Uppsala University (2022-2024), with thesis examining Anna Doyle Wheeler's political activism in 19th-century socialist movements through letter-writing analysis.
Her research centers on women's contributions to early socialist networks (1800-1848) across France, England, and the United States within Owenism, Fourierism, and Saint-Simonianism. She investigates how female actors facilitated transnational connections while exploring intersections of utopian ideology, religion, and political theory through network analysis and conceptual history frameworks. Her work critically engages with Engels' "utopian socialism" label and examines the 1848 revolutions' impact on socialist thought development.
Vangsøy contributes to academic discourse as an editorial team member for the Norwegian Journal for the History of Ideas (Arr - idéhistorisk tidsskrift).
