About Evelina Johansson Wilén

I'm associate professor in Gender studies since 2025, and as assistant professor in Gender studies since 2023.

I have a particular interest in feminist and anti-feminist movements, as well as feminist theory of science, feminist Marxism, and political theory. I have published my research in journals such as Feminist Theory, Journal of Gender Studies,  Labor History, NORA, Tidskrift för genusvetenskap & YOUNG.

I defended my dissertation titled "Mellan jaget och världen: Feminism och etik under nyliberala villkor" (Tankekraft förlag, 2019). The dissertation examines how the feminist slogan "the personal is political" is actualized in a neoliberal context and how this can be understood from theoretical perspectives on the relationship between politics and ethics.

I have extensive teaching experience at all levels, primarily in Gender Studies, Sociology, and Cultural Studies.

Other assignments:

I have peer-reviewed articles for several journals  and publishing houses and am one of the editor for the anthology "Vad är en kvinna? Språk, materialitet, situation (Daidalos, 2021) and "Ideologikritik" (Studentlitteratur, 2021).
