About HÃ¥kan Karlsson

HÃ¥kan Karlsson (b. 1962). I am a professor of archaeology at the Department of Historical Studies at the University 91̽»¨. My main research interests are the epistemology and ontology of archaeology, the contemporary political dimensions of archaeology, the role of cultural heritage in the present and future, and contemporary archaeology. I have written numerous books and articles on these topics. I am currently involved in several contemporary archaeological projects in Cuba and Sweden that, in collaboration with local people, address various types of contemporary tangible and intangible remains, for example: former Soviet nuclear bases, remains of a Swedish emigrant colony (Cuba), and Cold War remains (Sweden). I teach at all educational levels and on all archaeological themes.
