معرفی
Sune Haugbølle is a Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University, Denmark, specializing in global political sociology with a focus on the Middle East. His research on Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria is widely cited in historiographic literature, and he maintains active engagement with Arab communities and academic networks.
His expertise centers on three interconnected fields: social memory (examining collective memory work in civil war contexts), history of radical movements (particularly the Arab Left and transnational solidarity networks), and transnational solidarity (analyzing global connections in political movements). His work integrates mass media, revolution, ideology, and urban sociology within political sociology frameworks, drawing on extensive field experience in Arab countries.
Haugbølle's recent publications reveal a pronounced focus on contemporary Middle Eastern conflicts, with 2025 outputs addressing Syria's reconstruction, Gaza's humanitarian crisis, European geopolitical blind spots, and climate politics in Gulf states. His research consistently bridges historical analysis with urgent current affairs, emphasizing transitional justice and power dynamics.
He has secured significant research funding through projects including Entangled Histories of Palestine and the Global New Left (2019-2022, as project manager), Third Worldism in the Middle East (2021-2023), and The Production of Secular Ideology in the Levant (2012-2017). These grants demonstrate sustained institutional support for his interdisciplinary approach to Middle Eastern political history.
