About Eva Zetterman

Associate Professor in Art History and Visual Culture

Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies and Cultural Studies

Research

I received my Ph.D. in 2003 in Art History and Visual Studies at the University 91Ìœ»š on the dissertation Frida Kahlos bildsprĂ„k – ansikte, kropp & landskap: Representation av nationell identitet (Frida Kahlo’s Imagery – Face, Body & Landscape: Representation of National Identity). The dissertation (in Swedish) has since been published in three additional editions, in 2005, 2007 and 2011 (including one speech book). After the dissertation I have conducted research on visual expressions in the USA of self-defined identities by Xicans (Chicanas/Chicanos), murals in California, street performance by the artist group Asco and power relations on the art scene in Los Angeles. I have also participated in a national research project on the representation of women artists in the four largest art museums in Sweden and recently completed a study on feminist activism on the art scene in Gothenburg in the 1970s. (See below for publications). In a present study I focus on the visual artist Karin Parrow (1900–1984), whom during her life time was very productive, participated in a large number of exhibitions, was noted by art critics and sold most of her paintings, but still is marginalized in the history of art.

Teaching

Since 2015, I am affiliated to the University 91Ìœ»š where I teach on courses in Gender Studies and Cultural Studies. Previous teaching experiences include teaching on courses in Art History and Visual Studies, Latin American Studies and Applied Art at the University 91Ìœ»š (1995–2006), in Art History at Halmstad University College (2004–2005), in Art History and Visual Studies at VĂ€xjö University/LinnĂŠus University (2005), and in Art History and Visual Culture, Cultural Studies and Gender Studies at Karlstad University (2007–2015). At Karlstad University, I developed several new courses in Cultural Studies and in Art History and Visual Culture, I was director of Art History and Visual Culture and of Cultural Studies, I was program coordinator for the Cultural Studies Program (180 hp) and also project leader for the development process of the Cultural Studies Program.

Interactions

Since 2015, I am a member of the research network Göteborgskvinnor i rörelse/r () and since 2010 of the Swedish Association for American Studies (), where I was a board member 2014–2020. On behalf of the Danish Accreditation Institute () at the Danish Ministry of Education and Research in Copenhagen, I participated as an expert in the accreditation process in 2018 of bachelor- and master programs in Performance Design at Roskilde University (), a work that continued during 2020 by following up the accreditation process for bachelor- and master programs in Performance Design at Roskilde University.

During my years at Karlstad University I was member until 2015 of the Research Group for Culture Studies () and of the Local Advisory Board for the International Collegium for Advanced Transdisciplinary Gender Studies.

Previous collaborative activities also include participation in an expert group in the Region VĂ€stra Götaland for visual art in public spaces (2013), participation in a working group at Kultur i VĂ€st in the municipality 91Ìœ»š in collaboration with Skövde Art Museum and KRO/KIF VĂ€st for gender awareness by art professionals in art museums and exhibition spaces (2010–2013), participation in an expert group at the administration of culture and leisure in the municipality of Karlstad for art decoration of Tingvallahallarna (2007–2008), participation as a tour guide for customers of the fashion company Gudrun SjödĂ©n Design AB on journeys in Mexico on the theme 'In the footsteps of Frida Kahlo' that were organized by Äventyrsresor (Adventure Travel) (2007–2008), and working as an editor of the peer-review journal Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift (Journal of Women Studies), presently Tidskrift för genusvetenskap (Journal for Gender Studies) (2003–2004). I have participated in several symposiums and panels, held a large number of talks and public lectures, and I have worked in collaboration with a number of universities, cultural institutions, cultural organizations and cultural associations, and I am a member of several interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary associations and networks.
