Ingela Nilsson

Ingela Nilsson is a Professor of Greek specializing in Byzantine Greek at Uppsala University since 2010, with prior appointments as Associate Professor (2006-2010) and Assistant Professor (2004-2006) at the same institution. She served as Adjunct Professor at the University of Oslo's Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (2016-2017) and as Lecturer at Göteborg University (2001-2002). Elected to the Academy of Europe in 2016 for Classics & Oriental Studies, her academic profile centers on classical and medieval Greek textual analysis.

This interdisciplinary work bridges philological analysis with theoretical frameworks to explore storytelling conventions in ancient and medieval contexts, contributing to broader understandings of literary evolution in the Eastern Mediterranean.
