Anna Swärdh is an Associate Professor (Docent) in the Department of English at Stockholm University, where she has been teaching since 2020. Previously, she taught at Uppsala, Kalmar, Örebro, and Karlstad universities. She teaches and supervises students at all academic levels, primarily in literature but also in academic writing. Dr. Swärdh received her PhD from Uppsala University in 2003 with a dissertation titled "Rape and Religion in English Renaissance Literature," which examined four literary texts against the background of religious controversies following the English Reformation. Her research focuses on early modern literature and culture, with particular emphasis on how texts from this period have been received over time. In recent years, she has increasingly explored early-modern connections and exchanges between England and Sweden. Her scholarly work demonstrates a consistent engagement with rhetorical strategies in early modern texts, gender studies, and cross-cultural diplomatic exchanges during the Renaissance period. Her publications reveal a trajectory from focused literary analysis of Shakespeare and his contemporaries toward broader cultural-historical investigations of Anglo-Swedish relations. The most recent works increasingly examine female agency within patriarchal structures, diplomatic representation, and the material dimensions of early modern communication including letters, portraits, and architectural spaces. Dr. Swärdh serves as Treasurer and board member of SWESSE (The Swedish Society for the Study of English) and as Vice-President and board member of NAES (The Nordic Association of English Studies). She has received significant research funding from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) for multiple projects, including 'The Emulative Complaint: Imitation and Innovation in Late Elizabethan Complaint Poetry' (ref. 421-2006-1612) and the ongoing 'The Rhetoric of Patronage: Cultural Imprints of Helena, Marchioness of Northampton' (ref. 2016-01521), which examines cultural imprints left by the Swedish-born Helena, Marchioness of Northampton (1549–1635).

His publications reveal a consistent focus on the cultural dimensions of diplomacy, examining how ceremonial practices, gift-giving, and textual representations functioned as political tools in early modern international relations. His work bridges diplomatic history with cultural history, demonstrating how diplomatic encounters served as sites of knowledge production and cultural exchange. ESSA Book Prize 2017 for Russia and Courtly Europe Hedwig Hintze Prize 2012 (best dissertation award of German Historical Association) Fritz Theodor Epstein Prize 2012 (best dissertation award of Association of Historians of Eastern European History) Hennings has supervised numerous PhD and MA students working on diverse topics related to early modern diplomatic history across Eurasia.

Philip D Zimmerman serves as Visiting Scholar of History at Franklin & Marshall College, bringing decades of expertise in early American decorative arts and material culture. A former Senior Curator at Winterthur Museum and consultant for major institutions like the New-York Historical Society, he bridges academic research with practical museum stewardship through publications, teaching, and preservation advocacy. His educational foundation includes: Ph.D. in American and New England Studies, Boston University (1985) M.A. in Early American Culture, Winterthur Program/University of Delaware (1980) B.A. in Philosophy, Yale University (1972) Zimmerman's research centers on two interconnected domains: the material world of early American furniture—particularly Philadelphia cabinetmaker William Savery and the Historic Odessa Foundation collections—and the cultural significance of William Rush's 1790 Indian figurehead. His methodology combines rigorous object analysis with social history, revealing how furniture reflects identity, trade networks, and craftsmanship across colonial and federal America. This approach has reshaped understanding of regional styles, maker's marks, and transatlantic influences in decorative arts. His 15 most recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on furniture chronology, regional variations, and attribution challenges. Key trends include deepening analysis of Philadelphia craftsmanship, expanding study of ethnic influences like Swedish-American traditions, and innovative dating methodologies for furniture labels and forms. The work increasingly connects objects to broader historical narratives of community, trade, and cultural exchange. Zimmerman's professional impact extends beyond publications through significant preservation roles: as Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission commissioner (2016-2023), trustee of Preservation Pennsylvania (until 2020), and advisor during critical institutional transitions like the New-York Historical Society's financial stabilization. His NEH-funded exhibition development at Winterthur underscores sustained engagement with public history.
