Helena BerglundUniversitetslektor, Docent

Undervisningen har varit en del av mitt arbete vid institutionen sedan början av 1990-talet. Inriktningen har mer eller mindre speglat mina forskningsintressen kring demokratisering och civilsamhälle, med stark betoning på gender, etnicitet och religion. Merparten av arbetet har bedrivits inom ämnet Statsvetenskap men även inom kandidatprogrammet i Global utveckling samt lärarprogrammet i Samhällskunskap. Under senare år har jag koncentrerat mig mer på att handleda studenter i deras självständiga arbeten på olika nivåer.

Min forskning har tidigare varit inriktad på Indien, främst kring frågor om demokratisering, politiska identiteter och civilsamhälle. Detta har resulterat i monografin “Hindu Nationalism and Democracy”, antologierna “Gender, Religion and Democracy” and “Development and Regional Cooperation in Central Asia and South Asia: Euro-Asian Perspectives” liksom flera referentgranskade artiklar. Under senare år har jag tematiskt skiftat fokus till att skildra kampen för HBTQ-rättigheter, främst i Sydostasien, men även i en svensk kontext. För närvarande driver jag samarbetet “Transgender in Asia” med främst indonesiska och vietnamesiska civilsamhällesgrupper.
