Sverker Sörlin is an award-winning author and professor of environmental history at the Royal Institute of Technology.
For a long time, Sverker Sörlin has also been part of the Swedish cultural debate as a writer in Dagens Nyheter, among others. He has written a number of books, mainly in the field of the history of ideas, but also autobiographical about cross-country skiing, illness and education.
In his dissertation “The Land of the Future” from 1988, he described the first industrial revolution in Norrland at the end of the 19th century. A similar development is taking place today – and the hope for the future of northern Sweden’s new large industries is growing again.
Sverker Sörlin on his Summer Talk:
– My Summer is about the love of life and about things that help us to live, such as empathy, justice – and education. And so it will be about the vision of the fossil-free welfare state Sweden. There, the new Gröna Norrland is a test case.
