Biography

Peter Lagerqvist is a writer and anthropologist whose work explores the intersections of movement, identity, and insurrection.
Having previously taught at Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and Columbia University, Peter brings a dynamic,
interdisciplinary approach to the classroom. As an essayist and journalist, he has contributed to publications such as
The London Review of Books, Le Monde Diplomatique, The Guardian, and The New York Times, among others.
His creative and scholarly pursuits often combine an interest in artfulness, performance, and critical inquiry,
