Martin Fog Lantz Arndal is a Postdoc in the Department of Communication at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, researching conceptions of 'spiritual equality' in religious texts and paratexts with emphasis on historical gender equality debates. His work examines how biblical interpretations of Creation narratives inform arguments about intellectual equality between sexes in early modern Scandinavian Protestant contexts.
His educational background includes:
- B.A. in Danish Literature and Philosophy from Roskilde University (2012-2015)
- M.A. in Philosophy from University of Copenhagen (2016-2018), thesis: 'The ‘Mansplained’ Enlightenment: Mary Astell’s and Mary Wollstonecraft’s Challenge to Jonathan Israel’s Radical Enlightenment'
- Academic Exchange at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (2017-2018)
- Ph.D. from University of Copenhagen (2019)
Arndal's research spans Gender and Queer Studies, Enlightenment philosophy, Historical feminism, and Ecocriticism, with specific focus on Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Astell's critiques of gender inequality. He analyzes how Protestant theological frameworks shaped Scandinavian defenses of women's intellectual equality, demonstrating continuity between historical arguments and contemporary gender debates.
His publications reveal consistent engagement with Enlightenment-era feminist thought, particularly how religious interpretations of Genesis inform political arguments about social equality. The work connects 18th-century Scandinavian contexts to broader European intellectual history while highlighting unique Protestant nuances in gender discourse.
