My name is Johan Hegardt and I am Associate Professor in archaeology, Uppsala University. In my latest research I explored the history of the Museum of National Antiquities (Historiska museet, from 2010 National Historical Museum) in Stockholm, Sweden. This project was based on new museology, postcolonial theory, critical historiography and gender studies. Read more about the museum project.
Together with Dr Anna Källén I have recently started a project on the life and work of Olov Janse and his equally important wife Renée Janse. Read more about this project on Olov Janse above.
