About Olle Josephson
Olle Josephson, professor in Scandinavian anguages, retired from the Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism in 2017, where he has been active with longer or shorter leaves since the late 1970s.
During the period 2000–2008, he was head first of the Swedish Language Board, then of the Language Council. His research during the 2000s has therefore revolved around language preservation and language policy. But he has also been researching non-fiction, text analysis and writing for some time. Sometimes this work has been connected to school or higher education, sometimes it has been about popular writing in a historical perspective, preferably with popular movement connections.
He is also known to a wider public through language columns in Svenska Dagbladet, and in other media.
