Peter Edelberg is a Teaching Associate Professor at the SAXO Institute (Department of Archaeology, Ethnology, Greek & Latin, and History) within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on LGBT history, gender studies, and twentieth-century European history with emphasis on Scandinavian contexts and welfare state development.
His primary research domains include:
- LGBT History: Transnational Scandinavian activism (1948-2022), homophile movements, queer theory applications
- Gender and Sexuality: Homosexuality, prostitution, pornography, paedophilia, masculinity in historical context

Edelberg's recent publications demonstrate a consistent transnational approach to LGBT history, analyzing Scandinavian movement evolution from criminalization to lobbying and liberation. His work bridges historical analysis with queer theory, examining grassroots activism and institutional change across national boundaries while engaging with Foucauldian frameworks of power and subjectification.
