Erika Alm is an associate professor in gender studies and associate dean at the Faculty of Humanities at University of Gothenburg.[1]
Since 2020, she has been co-editor of the journal Lambda Nordica on LGBTQ studies.
Career
[edit]Alm wrote her dissertation in history of ideas in 2006, on the thesis "A packaging for guts and emotions": Conceptions of the body in government investigations from the 1960s and 1970s. Between 2009 and 2011 she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Umeå Center for Gender Studies at Umeå University. From 2011 she was lecturer in gender studies at the University of Gothenburg.[1]
In 2014 she took a teaching sabbatical from the University of Gothenburg to teach at Ohio State University where she taught a course on Critical perspective on Cisnormativity.[2][3]
In her research, based on feminist, political and cultural theory, she has investigated norms around body, gender and desire, especially as they appear in medical expertise and legislation, for example issues concerning abortion, sterilization and gender correction.[1]
In 2020, Alm took over as new editor of the peer-reviewed journal Lambda Nordica on LGBTQ studies, alongside her peer Elisabeth L. Engebretsen.[4][5]
