PREFACE
English Studies at Uppsala University
English language and literature have been studied at Uppsala University since
1736, when Andreas Hesselius was appointed tutor in the subject. Today there
are three chairs: the Chair in English Language was established in 1904, the
Chair in English Literature in 1948, and the Chair in American Literature in
1968. The Department also includes a Celtic Section, which grew out of the Irish
Institute that was set up in 1950. Between 1941 and 1948 there was a research
professorship in Celtic Languages and Comparative Indo-European Linguistics.
In 2003 The Swedish Institute for North American Studies (SINAS, established
in 1985) became part of the Department of English. A more detailed account of
the history of English studies at Uppsala University can be found in Acta
Universitatis Upsaliensis, Uppsala University 500 Years, 6 (1976) and in Kungl.
Humanistiska Vetenskaps-Samfundet i Uppsala, Årsbok 2000.

CURRENT RESEARCH/PUBLICATIONS
English Language
Head of Section: Professor Merja Kytö
Research in the English language at the department comprises empirical studies of variation and
developments in the language, past and present. Some of the areas covered are: (socio-historical)
variation analysis, historical pragmatics, English as a foreign language, and computer-mediated
communication. Computerized collections of texts and corpus-linguistic techniques occupy a
central position in linguistic research. The department has extensive international contacts
regarding the compilation and use of new corpora of past and present-day English.

have attracted increasing scholarly attention at the department.

The Swedish Institute for North American Studies
Head of Section: Erik Åsard, FD
The Swedish Institute for North American Studies (SINAS) was established in June 1985, by the
Uppsala University Board of Regents. On January 1, 2003, SINAS became part of the
Department of English. SINAS is in part a research institute that has a social studies profile.
Scholars at SINAS focus on two kinds of studies: those that are concerned specifically with
North America and those that compare social problems and phenomena in Sweden and North
America, principally the United States. Current research projects include studies of American
voices and virtual spaces in New Shanghai, trans-Atlantic academic contacts between Sweden
and the United States, and the life and political career of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Among recent
research projects are conspiracy theories in the United States and Sweden, American influences
in Swedish society, and affirmative action policies in Sweden and the United States.
