معرفی
Jens Refslund Poulsen serves as a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Section of Church History at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Theology since 2023, specializing in the intersection of classical antiquity and Christian theological development.
His educational background includes a Cand.mag. in Classical Philology from Aarhus University (2005), preceded by a scholarship at the same institution (2004-2005).
Professor Poulsen's research centers on Church History with particular emphasis on Late Antiquity's pagan-Christian cultural dynamics and the enduring reception of classical antiquity across Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Modern periods. His work bridges philological precision with theological inquiry, examining how ancient cultural frameworks evolved through subsequent historical eras while maintaining relevance to contemporary religious scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach positions classical reception studies as a vital lens for understanding European intellectual history.
His teaching portfolio includes propaedeutic Latin courses (I and II), reflecting his classical philology foundation. Prior to his current academic appointment, he held significant consultancy roles at the Danish Ministry of Education (2012-2022) focusing on classical subjects, and taught Latin, Greek, and classical studies at Copenhagen gymnasiums (2005-2015).
