The following people are affiliated researchers to LUCK in 2026–2029. They are employed at other universities than Lund but they are closely collaborating with us in various ways.

Evelina Kallträsk is a postdoctoral researcher at Ájtte – Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum, a guest researcher av Luleå University of Technology and an affiliated researcher at the department of history, Lund University. She obtained her PhD in history in 2025 at Lund University, where she’s also been connected to LUCK since its formation in 2020. Kallträsk’s research focuses on histories of knowledge, education, childhood and youth and Sami history. She is the co-ordinator of the LUCK doctoral summer school in the history of knowledge, and a contributor to the anthology on the knowledge society – Sverige som kunskapssamhälle (2026). She is interested in the development of history of knowledge approaches and the combination of perspectives from different fields – such as the history of knowledge and the history of education – to explore what is considered valuable knowledge and why and how knowledge moves and enters new arenas. Kallträsk is presently working on projects on epistemic justice, conflict and cooperation in land use and natural resource governance and the bridging of different knowledge systems.

Hampus Östh Gustafsson is a researcher at the Department of History of Science and Ideas, Uppsala University, where he also obtained his PhD in 2021. His research has covered broad aspects of the history of the humanities and the organisation of universities. He is currently engaged in a project concerning the history of research funding and the formation of the human sciences in postwar Sweden. Previous publications have appeared in journals such as History of Education, History of Humanities, and Minerva. He is also the editor of The Humanities and the Modern Politics of Knowledge (Amsterdam University Press, 2022, together with Anders Ekström) and Sverige som kunskapssamhälle (Nordic Academic Press, 2026, together with Carl-Filip Smedberg, Jonas Andersson & Klara Müller). General research interests also include academic freedom, book history, societal circulation of knowledge, and temporalities of education.

Marie-Gabrielle Verbergt is a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, Belgium. Her work broadly focuses on the history and sociology of scholarly knowledge, asking how big twentieth-century trends have affected the use and production of humanities knowledge, and historical knowledge in specific. She is interested in how processes like digitization, European integration, neoliberalisation, the birth of the “knowledge society”, the rise of populism and the massification of universities affected humanities scholars and historians after 1945. At the moment, Verbergt is working on the long history of ‘scholar-to-scholar evaluation’, asking how new paradigms of ‘peer review’ became institutionalized in various humanities contexts. In 2025, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at LUCK on the project “The Europeanisation of the Universities”. Verbergt also serves as Review Editor at Rethinking History.
