معرفی
Jakob Evertsson is an Associate Professor at both Uppsala University (2021) and Åbo Akademi University (2015) in Church History. Affiliated with the Department of History under the Faculty of Arts at Uppsala, he focuses on historical intersections of education, religion, and material culture.
His research spans history of education, material culture, and church-state dynamics, particularly examining elementary school reforms in Sweden (1861–1930), school inspection systems, and the professionalization of educators. His Swedish Research Council-funded project (2020–2022) analyzes how inspection mechanisms shaped early Swedish public schooling.
Recent publications dissect gender dynamics in 19th-century Swedish education ("Making teaching cheap"), transitions from religious to secular curricula ("Från katekes till naturlära"), and the role of visual aids like wallcharts ("Materiality, Wallcharts..."). His work bridges educational policy and religious history, with a focus on Sweden’s institutional evolution.
